Honey is made from nectar which is collected from flowers. It has been stored in a special nectar stomach, then regurgitated back at the hive. It has not passed through the bee's gut.

∙ 7y agoTechnically yes -In fact, nectar is stored in an organ called the "honey stomach" which is part of the bee's esophagus. But the honey stomach-also known as the honey sac, crop, or ingluvies-is a specialized organ designed to expand and store nectar until it can be ferried back to the hive.
Once the forager bee returns home she regurgitates the contents of the honey stomach and, through the process of trophallaxis, transfers it to a house bee. The house bee will begin to process the nectar
Honey bees also have an organ for digestion called the ventriculus or mid-gut. But the mid-gut occurs after the honey stomach and is separated from it by the proventriculus which is a muscular organ that regulates the opening between these two parts of the alimentary canal. Further down the line are the intestines, rectum, and anus.

∙ 13y agoHoney is produced from the nectar of flowers comprising of various sugars like laevulose,dextrose with enzymes,acids,pollen grains stored in the honey comb to be used in winter by the bees (Apis mellifera).However it cannot be ruled out that a measure of contamination is found in the honey.
In basic terms the honey bee ingests (eats) the nectar of flowers,the nectar then mixes with enzymes and acids in the bee's digestive system which turn the nectar into honey,the bee then regurgitates (vomits) the honey into the comb which then becomes their food..
