no they die after travelling for ~800km No, they pollinate during the course of harvesting nectar and pollen, which does not kill them. They die when they are around 6-8 weeks old or if they sting someone.

∙ 14y agoBees are not carniverous and don't eat aphids.
Aphids feed by pushing their mouthparts into plants and drinking the sap. The sap is mainly water, so in order to get the nouishment they need, the aphids have to drink a lot of sap. The aphids exude the surplus as a sugary liquid called honeydew. The bees feed on the honeydew. Normally this is not a problem, but in certain plants, such as lime trees, the sap contains chemicals which, although they don't affect the aphids, are narcotic or toxic to the bees.

Why are the bees dying after eating aphids from trees?
Firstly, bees don't eat aphids: they are strictly vegetarian and eat nectar, pollen and honeydew, and it is the honeydew that is the problem here. Aphids feed on plant sap by puncturing the leaves with their mouth parts. Sap is mainly water so they need a lot of sap to get all the nutrients they require, and they excrete the surplus as honeydew. This is what the bees feed on. Unfortunately certain trees, such as lime, have narcotic or toxic chemicals in their sap which don't affect the aphids but when concentrated in the honeydew will stupefy or kill the bees.
