In order to maintain normal behavior, brood rearing, composition and nutritional levels, water is a vital element in a bee’s diet and according to various authority apiculture websites online, it needs to be available to the bees at all times.
As previously stated, honey is produced by the bees using the nectar they collect from flowers and other similar plants.
Not every day of the year is great for feeding bees regular syrup and that is why in late winter, bee keepers will feed them dry sugar as an emergency method only.
So when do honey bees eat? In truth, there's really no specific time when they do it. But logically, foragers can only do stuff themselves with honey once they're in the hive, usually after they're back from looking for food or in between their “schedule”. And as for other worker bees, they have it lucky. They can feed on the honey any time they need to.
The amount of food that they consumed is depending on what type of bees and the type of food and its availability. There's no scientific research yet to support this data.
