What Do Bees Eat?

Bees Eat Pollen, Nectar, and Royal Jelly

  • Pollen is a rich source of protein

  • Sweet nectar provides energy and also helps to maintain water balance in the diet.

  • Royal jelly is a protein-rich, glandular secretion – actually from the hypopharyngeal glands,which are a pair of long glands coiled in the sides of the heads of young worker honey bees.
