They don't. Pollen is not used to make honey.
Bees collect nectar from flowers. When they return to the hive it is regurgutated into comb cells. The heat of the hive, together with bees fanning the nectar cells with their wings, drive off water from the nectar. The result is honey.

How do bumble bees make honey?
Bumblebees eat nectar and pollen made by flowers. The sugary nectar provides the bees with energy while the pollen provides them with protein, according to The Bumblebee Conservation Trust. They make honey by chewing the pollen and mixing it with their saliva, according to Animal Diversity Web (ADW).

What biotic factors do honey bees interact with?
Honey bees interact with a variety of biotic factors in their ecosystem, including flowers for nectar and pollen, other bee species for competition and pollination, predators such as birds and insects, as well as parasites and pathogens like mites and viruses. These interactions play a crucial role in the honey bee's life cycle and overall health.
Are bees allergic to pollen?
Yes. Some pollen will be accidentally trapped in the fine hairs on her body and will pollinate the next flower visited. Also, the bee will gather pollen and transfer it into 'pollen baskets' on her hind legs in order to take it back to the hive. You can sometimes see this when you see a bee with what appear to be yellow lumps on her legs. Pollen is rich in protein and is mixed with a little honey to make a substance called bee bread. This is fed to the larvae.
