Question

WHY DO HONEY BEES LIKE POLLEN ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Pollen is the protein source for the honey bee colony.

In fact, it is the only protein that bees eat. Without protein no young bees could be raised and the colony would die. Bees use protein rich pollen to feed baby bees. Nurse bees consume pollen in order to produce “brood food” secretions from gland in their mouths.

Answer 2

Answer:

Honey bees collect pollen and nectar as a food for the entire colony and as they do they pollinate plants.
