Honey bees eat nectar and pollen. They can store pollen in the comb, but if they tried to store nectar it wouldn't keep and would soon start to ferment. They have evolved methods to convert the nectar into honey. This serves two purposes: it keeps well, and it takes less space because they have evaporated surplus water from it. The honey is kept for food when nectar is not available, such as during the winter. This is particularly necessary because honey bees don't hibernate but remain active during the winter.
