Honey bees are attracted to sugars and have been known to seek out liquid sweets, such as ice lollies, sugary drinks and watermelons. They are also attracted to pollen and nectar as an additional food source. Worker bees can also drink the nectar from plants and flowers, and store in their crop before taking it back to their hive. From here, they share the nectar with fellow workers in a process called trophallaxis.
