During the flowering season, the main source of food for a honey bee will be nectar which the bee feeds on directly from the plant. During the winter, when no flowers are available and it is too cold for the bee to leave the hive, the bee will eat honey which it has made and stored during the summer specifically for this purpose. If a beekeeper thinks that his bees may not have enough food to last them through the winter, he might feed them with a block of 'candy' which is mostly sugar mixed with a little water.
