As defined by the online oxford dictionary:
symbiosis Line-break:
- On
- Off
- interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association, typically to the advantage of both.
Bees cannot have a symbiotic relationship with honey because honey is not an animal. It is not alive, although it is necessary for honeybees' continued survival because honey is used as a food source, as well as pollen, during the winter months when foraging for nectar is not an option.
Honeybees also increase the concentration of honey fed to a soon-to-be queen. The increase in sugar during their larval state is what prompts the morphological change to the queen type honeybee.

Are honeybees the same as bees?
No. Some bumble bees are solitary but even the largest social bumble bee colonies are quite small with up to a couple of hundred members -- compared to a honey bee colony at 20,000 to 60,000 members. Also, bumble bees only store enough honey for their immediate needs because over the winter the new queens hibernate and the rest of the colony dies. With honey bees they have to build up a large stock of honey for food when they can't forage in the winter because they do not hibernate and a large part of the colony will survive through the winter.
What situation in nature which one living thing depends on another living thing?

This mutually beneficial relationship helps both species thrive in their environment.
