Infants under one year old should not eat honey.
Yes, honey straight from a bee hive can be safe to eat.Specifically, honey has strong anti-bacterial properties. Raw honey nevertheless is not the food for infants or those with immune-compromised systems. It may contain spores from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. These spores may survive the passage of raw, unprocessed honey through human digestive systems. They will not survive pasteurization.

Yes. It is safe to eat natural honey directly from a hive. Assuming of course, the bees don't object.

When the honey guide bird finds a bee hive with honey, it makes a certain noise. Then the honey badger follows the sound of the bird until it find it, and the bee hive. The badger then breaks down the bee hive and the badger and the bird eat all the honey :) and live happily ever after ;p
No, it is not safe to consume honey from a hive that has been sprayed with Raid or any other insecticide. The chemicals could contaminate the honey, making it harmful for consumption. It is important to avoid using insecticides near beehives to protect the bees and their honey.
I can assure you I am no expert, but I am pretty sure that bees do not eat their honey. What they do is fly around to flowers, take the nectar, and bring it back to thier hive to make honey. So actually yes, I guess they do eat honey. But they'd do it in their hive, so you'd never see them.
Forager bees collect nectar and pollen, and bring them back to the hive where they are stored. Water is evaporated from the nectar, turning it into honey. Bees eat pollen, a rich source of protein, and honey, which is a carbohydrate.
Yes. Honey is one of the purest forms of food available. Jars of honey bought in a supermarket have been processed so much that most of the natural nutrition is no longer there. But that applies to most processed foods.
