Ground bees are native bees. They can pollinate plants and feed on nectar, but they do no need to create food store to survive through the winter. Almost all die off.

Honey bees pollinate plants as a side-effect of their nectar-gathering activities. Because they maintain a population over winter, they need to store food. Hence, they make honey.

___________

Honey bees will be a colony of thousands in one nest, where ground bees are solitary bees, one bee (raising a brood) to the nest, though there may be dozens of these solitary nest in the same area

Is honey made from hornets?

To those people who think honey is made from honey bees, you're wrong. In America, it might be made from honey bees but it actually is produced by hornets. The person who answered this is completely wrong. Although SOME species of hornet do produce honey, it's toxicology makes it poisonous to humans. Honey comes from HONEY BEES, hence the name honey bee. Hornets do not produce honey consumable by humans. Whether it be from European or African bees ( aka killer bees ) , the honey we consume comes from honey bees. Another interesting fact is that honey is the only product of an insect that humans consume.
