Question. Bees need two different kinds of food. One is honey made from nectar, which actually is a fluid that is collected in the heart of the flowers to pollination by insects and other animals. Secondly, come from pollen, it is fine powdery substance in yellow, consisting of microscopic grains from the male part of a flower or from a male cone. It contains a male gamete that can fertilize the female ovule, which is by wind, insects or other animals. Let us go with the honeybee from her flower to the hive and see what happens. Most bees gather only pollen or nectar. As she sucks nectar from the flower, it is in her special honey stomach ready to be transferred to the honey-making bees in the live.
