[Carpenter bees, mason bees, bumble bees are the most common in my area.] Jim You are badly mistaken, Jim. There are several "races" of bumblebees (Bombus bimaculatus) that do make and store honey. Generally it is in small amounts and not typically stored for extended periods. Do a bit of research before making profound statements. Badly mistaken or imprecise? How about; "I don't think carpenter or mason bees make any honey. Bumblebees don't make enough honey to make it worthwhile for mankind to harvest." Honey bees make enough honey to keep the hive going over a winter and to share with their human friends. Jim |
