No. Bees make honey from nectar. Although the honey may contain a small amount of pollen from the flowers from which the nectar was collected, this is accidental.
Bees do collect pollen and bring it back to the hive, but this is used as food, particularly for the developing larvae.

Why do bees take flowers pollen?
Bees take pollen to make honey.
Why do we need honey bees?
Apart from producing honey, we need bees for pollination.
What do bees use the nectar from flowers to make?
Technically I think they do eat nectar but they turn it into honey in their stomachs. They then spit it back up to eat then or store in the cell walls to eat in the long winters. Hope this helps!!! -- Honey bees feed on pollen and honey. They make the honey out of flower nectar that they collect by sucking it out of flowers; they then store it in a special storage stomach and bring it back to the hive. There they pass it over to other worker bees, who make it into honey by mixing it with enzymes as they chew it. They spread the treated nectar into the honeycombs, and as the water evaporates from it, it becomes thick. When it is thick enough, they seal off the honeycomb cells with wax and store the honey until they need it.
How long does it take bees to make honey?
It varies, but typically honey bees can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to make honey. The process involves collecting nectar from flowers, bringing it back to the hive, evaporating excess moisture from the nectar, and sealing it in honeycomb cells. Bees need to process and dehydrate the nectar to ensure it becomes honey.
Why do farmers breed honey bees?
Farmers don't usually breed honey bees, but they do need them for pollination purposes depending on the type of farm. For example, a livestock farmer doesn't need bees but a fruit farmer definitely does need bees.
Why do bees take flowers pollen?
Bees take pollen to make honey.
How do bees and flowers interact?
Its called 'interdependence.' The flowers need the bees to pollinate them to survive, but the bees need the flowers so they can make honey, and the female bees pollinate flowers and keep pollen on there legs to feed there larve.
Why do we need honey bees?
Apart from producing honey, we need bees for pollination.
What does a honey bee need to survive?
Bees live in a colony and their nest is called a hive. There is one queen bee and hives can have up to 80,000 bees. Bees eat nectar and pollen from flowers and plants. The workers make honey, which is feed to the larvae.
Why is it good for a bee take pollen from a plant?
bees need pollen because they will make more hony so we can eat and so that is all:)
Why should you not touch a Beehive?
Not a good idea to go around touching beehives, you could take an unwanted virus to the hive which in turn could kill off the bees, we need the bees for our honey. Bees are very busy collecting pollen for our daily dose of Honey so we need to safeguard them by leaving them alone to get on with what they do best!
Why dont honey bees live in Antarctica?
Bees need a food source (pollen) that is not freely available in Antarctica. Also they would not be able to survive in the climate in Antarctica due to the low temperature.
Why do honey bees never hide their hives in a field of grain?
Firstly, a hive is an artificial home for bees provided by a beekeeper. The natural home for a colony of wild honey bees is usually in a hollow in an old tree. Bees aren't particularly interested in a field of grain as what they need is pollen and nectar, neither of which is produced by a field of grain.
Why do bees make honey and do they eat it?
Bees don't hibernate, but if the weather is too cold they can't fly out of the hive - and in winter there would probably be no flowers anyway. So, they collect a surplus of food when there is plenty available and store it for the winter. Honey can best be described as concentrated nectar.
Can you put bees in a jar and let them make honey?
If you are hoping for enough honey to collect for yourself you would have to use honey bees. They are a social insect and will only survive as part of a colony. This would mean it would have to be a very large jar because you would need to hold a colony of something like 40,000 to 60,000 bees. They would also need to be able to come and go as they please to forage for pollen and nectar.There would be a problem, however. The bees would build honeycomb in which to store the honey -- how are you going to get it out of the jar without killing the bees?All in all, it would be much better to use a proper beehive.

Why do bees collect pollen?
Bees collect nectar for food. Because raw nectar would not store for very long without fermenting, bee convert the surplus of nectar they collect into honey to use as food when nectar is not available. It is this surplus honey that we collect. Beekeepers then replace the honey with sugar syrup which, for the bees, is just as good.
