Generally, bees slurp up nectar (a sweet liquid that plants produce to attract insects to aid pollination) from plants (particularly some flowers) and use this substance 'nectar' as the main source in the combination of the yellow gooey substance that we consume and name as 'honey'.
This was done by a Grade 5 ( or P5 ) Singaporean schoolgirl.
Because it produces honey.
In its lifetime, the average honey bee worker produces about 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey.

Yes, a honey bee is considered a producer because it gathers pollen and nectar from flowers to produce honey for its colony. By converting sunlight into energy through photosynthesis in plants, the honey bee plays a role in the food chain as a primary producer.
Honey bee is an insect that produces honey and wax. Honey is very sweet and available different flavours. It is used for nutrition and medicinal purposes. Bees wax is a naatual wax that is used for manufacture of smokeless candles, polishes etc. Bees also produce a material called royal jelly which is fed to normal bee larva to turn them into queen bee larva.
The honey bee has a venomous sting but produces honey for man.
According to the Honey Association, the average honey bee willactually make only one twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.

The Africanized honey bee. Euorpean honey bees were breed with African honey bees, creating a hybrid bee known as the Africanized honey bee, or killer bee.
I hope that that bee is not an Africanized honey bee.
Research has shown that the highest production figures come from a bee that is a cross between the European honey bee (apis mellifera mellifera) and the African honey bee (apis mellifera scutella). However that cross produces what has become known as the 'killer' bee, because they are less docile and more likely to sting. On balance, this disadvantage outweighs any production advantage so beekeepers tend to use the pure European honey bee.
