What do bees do when the get the pollen?

Answer 1

Bees eat nectar and pollen. When they can collect a surplus of nectar they convert it into honey and store it as food for when nectar is not available.
A beekeeper who takes honey must replace it in the form of sugar syrup or the bees will starve in the winter.

Answer 2

Once a bee has collected pollen, he travels down into the bottom of a flower. This is where the nectary is - the component of a plant that produces a sweet, orange substance named nectar. The bee drinks the nectar, still covered in pollen, and comes back out of the flower - again, passing the anthers which gets it covered even more in pollen. The bee then flies to another flower, passing the pollen covered anthers, and inserting the pollen into the stigma - a sticky "landing pad" for the pollen. The bee then travels to the nectary, and the cycle begins again.

Answer 3

When bees collect pollen, they use their specialized leg hairs to brush the pollen grains from flowers into their pollen baskets located on their hind legs. They carry the collected pollen back to their hive where it is used as a food source for their colony, including feeding their larvae and making bee bread.

Answer 4

The pollen is taken back to the hive, mixed with a little honey and fed to the larvae. Pollen is a good source of protein.

Answer 5

They eat it!

Nectar is mainly sugar, so provides the carbohydrate part of their diet. Pollen provides their protein, lipids, some vitamins and minerals.

Answer 6

eat it for the protein in it
