The honey crop could hold a maximum of about 100 milligrams (mg) of nectar, though the bee will usually return to the hive with about 40 mg. This compares with the body weight of the bee at about 90 mg.
No, the nectar is there to bee suck, and then, the bee takes the pollen to other flowers.

A honey bee has a 'honey stomach'. This is separate from and in front of its digestive stomach and is used only for storing nectar. In order to fill the honey stomach the bee will visit anything up to 1,500 flowers, and the weight of the collected nectar will weigh almost as much as the bee itself.
A honey bee can carry a load weighing up to 50-70% of its body weight, which is typically around 70-100 milligrams. This means a honey bee can lift and carry objects that are roughly equivalent to a few grains of sand.
