what insects besides bees make honey?

Only bees make honey.  They have been making honey for at least 100 million years as a source of food for the bee colony during the winter months when flowers are not blooming and no nectar is available.  Unlike most insects, bees are active all winter, so they need the honey to eat and metabolize so they don't freeze to death.  Because some bees produce far more honey than the hive could possibly use over the winter months, we get to have honey to eat.\n\nMany species of insects also consume the nectar from flowers, but only bees refine and concentrate the nectar to make honey.

with seeds. \nthey have flowers and then the little bees come...

maybe....but can you lure more honey with flies?

What exactly do you need bee/flower pollen for? I live in Oz, and wasn't even aware that we had pollen suppliers here.

Any insect, any crustatcean (crab or lobster), any spider, one specific scorpion.\n\nSo you can choose any or I'll name 4:\nAnt, Lobster, Black Widow, Scorpion

It is honey that is made from the pollen of the manuka bush in New Zealand.  They claim that there is not pollution there and so their honey is more pure and has special properties, as well as a special price.

Honey.\nFrom somewhere in the state of New York (no more exact than that). :)\nEdit: http://www.funtrivia.com/ask.cfm?action=details&qnid=32145\nAccording to this, dry, refined white sugar doesn't spoil; honey last centuries but is subject to "some physical and chemical changes." Take that as you will.

Bees live on their honey during the winter.  Many other insects do die, but only after laying eggs that will hatch in the spring.\n\nCheck this out:  http://www.uky.edu/Ag/Entomology/ythfacts/allyr/yf806.htm

1) Bees pollinate flowers.\n\n2) Many different kinds of insects are food for other kinds of animals.\n\n3) Termites and other insects turn fallen trees and other dead vegetation into compost that fertilizes new trees and plants.\n\n4) Some people use bee venom to help joint and muscle pain.\n\n7) We get wax, honey, and silk from insects.\n\n6) Chocolate covered ants!

Honey bees generally only sting to protect their hives. The bees that are capable of stinging are the female worker bees. Bee stingers are barbed and, after being thrust into the skin, are left in the skin but are pulled out of the abdomen of the bee. Poison sacs are attacked to the stinger and pump poison into the wound. Some people are very allergic to the poison and must be taken to the hospital. Others can get by with applying ice packs, calamine lotion, or taking antihistimines. The bee dies after losing its stinger, but you probably won't! \n\nThe widest part of this stinger is about 40 micrometers.

I don't think anybody will be able to pin it down to one specific insect species, because first, how do you measure smartness, and how do you compare it between species, which show very different behavior. \nAs far as complexity of behavior and brain size is concerned, I think the social insects as a group will be smarter than the non-social ones. Being social adds a whole new repertoire of behavior due to the need to constantly interact with nestmates versus non-nestmates. In addition, social insect species have a home - which they have to find again!\nSocial insect behavior range from dance communication of honey bees, to pheromone communication of ants, pathfinding in ants, individual face recognition in some wasps species. \n\nAs far as specific sources are concerned, there are many papers published, below a link to a random one which came up when I typed in "learning memory insect". You will be able to find thousands more.

What kind of bees make milk?\n\n\nBoobies.

A bee. With its life-saving honey. I will call her Queen. :)

No honey because its only acting.

what they spin isn't random it is all in the structure. the way it is spun helps support the web and the same goes for bees. the honeycombs are built in an easy to use layout. they have no intelligence only instinct.

Honeybees use nectar to make honey. Nectar is almost 80% water with some complex sugars. Bees use their long, tubelike tongues like straws to suck the nectar out of the flowers and they store it in their "honey stomachs". Bees actually have two stomachs, their honey stomach which they use like a nectar backpack and their regular stomach. The honey stomach holds almost 70 mg of nectar and when full, it weighs almost as much as the bee does. Honeybees must visit between 100 and 1500 flowers in order to fill their honeystomachs.\n\nThe honeybees return to the hive and pass the nectar onto other worker bees. These bees suck the nectar from the honeybee's stomach through their mouths. These "house bees" "chew" the nectar for about half an hour. During this time, enzymes are breaking the complex sugars in the nectar into simple sugars so that it is both more digestible for the bees and less likely to be attacked by bacteria while it is stored within the hive. The bees then spread the nectar throughout the honeycombs where water evaporates from it, making it a thicker syrup. The bees make the nectar dry even faster by fanning it with their wings. Once the honey is gooey enough, the bees seal off the cell of the honeycomb with a plug of wax. The honey is stored until it is eaten. In one year, a colony of bees eats between 120 and 200 pounds of honey.
