Yes—bees absolutely eat honey! While humans enjoy it as a sweet treat, for bees it’s a vital food source that fuels nearly everything they do. Bees make honey not just to store, but to eat themselves whenever they need energy or when nectar is scarce.
Honey bees have a complex form of communication. They have an extensive pheromone system that signal different things within the hive and amongst each other. They also perform dances for each other to show locations of newfound food sources.
What is Beeswax?
Beeswax is a natural wax made by young worker bees inside the hive. Bees use it to build the hexagonal cells of the honeycomb, which they use to store honey, raise young bees, and make “bee bread” from pollen.
From the moment the worker bee hatches from its cell it is immediately put to work. There are many different jobs she could be assigned to do.
