Why do bees make honey?

Question

Why do bees make honey?

Answer 1

Honeybees collect nectar and store it as honey in their hives. Nectar and honey provide the energy for the bees' flight muscles and for heating the hive during the winter period. Honeybees also collect pollen which supplies protein for bee brood to grow.

Answer 2

Not all bees make honey.  But honeybees make honey to eat.  They collect pollen when it's available.  They make honey out of some of it.  Honey keeps over the winter.  They eat it over the winter.  If they run out, they die.
