We only collect honey from honey bees, and there are seven species of honey bee worldwide.
Yup. Honey is bee barf. Bees collect nectar from flowers and store it in "honey stomachs," separate from their true stomachs. When they return to the hive, they regurgitate the nectar and either contact other worker bees for more processing or dump it directly into the honeycomb. It may be disgusting to think about thousands of honey bees lining up and regurgitate together to make honey, but humans have harvested bee barf and eaten it for thousands of years. Incidentally, honey is the only insect-created food that humans can eat.
Bees are unique because they play a crucial role in pollinating many of the fruits and vegetables that humans rely on for food. Without bees, certain crops would not be able to reproduce and produce food. Their pollination services are essential for agriculture and food production.
Insects like crickets, mealworms, and grasshoppers are commonly consumed by humans in some cultures. These insects are a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, and are considered a sustainable food source with lower environmental impact compared to traditional livestock.
Bees make honey in ALL countries.
It is the worker bees that make the honey.
Honey is not made by humans. Bees secrete it in their hive. Humans harvest it by smoking the bees to subdue them and then removing some of the honey comb from the hive.

No, honey bees are not the only bees that make honey. The bees in question (Apis spp) just happen to be the most famous of the world's natural honey-makers. Other apian examples include bumble and stingless bees.
