Why do queen bees make honey?
Honey bees do not hibernate in the winter, but they are unable to fly out of the hive because it is too cold. They collect and store honey during the rest of the year so they have stocks of food to see them through the winter. Luckily for us, they store more honey than they need, and this surplus is what the beekeeper will take.
