Honey Production
While both produce honey, bumblebees do not produce a surplus of honey like honeybees. Therefore, beekeepers do not collect bumblebee honey for consumption.
Do bumble bees make honey comb?
Honey is produced so that it can be stored long-term, while nectar is only stored for short periods of time. Unlike honey bees, there is no bumble bee honey and no such thing as a bumble bee honeycomb.
What is difference between bumblebee and honey be?
The bumblebee has a larger and more rounded hairy body than the honey bee. It too varies in colour, but usually has a dark body with yellow or orange bands. The tail of the bumblebee may be black, white or red. Bumblebees live in much smaller colonies than honey bees.
