Do bees eat honey?

Except the answer to all of those is 'yes', whereas bees don't actually seem to eat honey. :(

Don't forget that bees don't have that golden pasteurized stuff that you get in your squeeze bottle. They have the real stuff in honeycombs. That's probably why your bumblebee isn't eating out of your saucer.
 
I'm sure he'd have some if he caught a whiff of it.

Though having it fresh from the hive is definitely best!
 
They'll be eating less when all the fucking bees are dead


I'm unsettled by this recent bee-decline. Bodes not well:hmm:

This is the real stuff in honeycombs - we buy it from a man at the end of the street who keeps bees.
 
I've tasted it straight from a hive - did some work beekeeping a few summers ago. I think it tastes extra special when you can see into the hive it's just been taken from, and can nearly taste the bees trying to get it back!!

I remember reading about the bee decline... colony abandonment syndrome or something - bees just leaving home for no apparent reason :( it doesn't bode well at all.
