Bees don't hibernate, but if the weather is too cold they can't fly out of the hive - and in winter there would probably be no flowers anyway. So, they collect a surplus of food when there is plenty available and store it for the winter. Honey can best be described as concentrated nectar.

Combs are a storage device for honey as well as larvae.

∙ 14y agoBees don't take honey to the hive (unless they have stolen it from another hive) but they collect nectar and take that to the hive, and make honey from it.
Bees eat nectar and pollen, and surplus nectar they collect is made into honey for them to eat when nectar is not available.
