Best Answer

For cold weather supplies and wax production are reasons why bees make honey.

Specifically, the insect in question (Apis spp) collects nectar during nice weather. From that nectar honey is produced so that the inhabitants of the hive will have food when the weather is too cold for flowers to bloom or nectar to be gathered. Consumption of honey also will aid in the production of wax within scout and worker bees' stomachs.
