Are honeybees the same as bees?
No. Some bumble bees are solitary but even the largest social bumble bee colonies are quite small with up to a couple of hundred members -- compared to a honey bee colony at 20,000 to 60,000 members. Also, bumble bees only store enough honey for their immediate needs because over the winter the new queens hibernate and the rest of the colony dies. With honey bees they have to build up a large stock of honey for food when they can't forage in the winter because they do not hibernate and a large part of the colony will survive through the winter.
