What foods do bees and greenfly get from roses?
Greenfly use their mouthparts to pierce the stems and leaves of the rose and drink the plant's sap which contains sugars and other nutrients.With bees it is a little more complicated. For a single-flowered rose or for a variety where the petals open wide, bees can get to the nectaries and they will take the nectar. For double-flowered roses the nectaries are hidden by the petals, and the bee's proboscis is not long enough to reach them. But, as the greenfly are feeding they will excrete droplets of a sugary liquid called honeydew and the bees sometimes will take this.Generally, it is ants that feed off greenfly honeydew rather than bees.
