Nectar

Honeybees eat what they gather. They eat pollen and nectar gathered from flowers. Pollen provides an excellent source of protein for the bees. Honeybees mix their honey and stored pollen together to feed the queen and baby bees or brood. This mixture is known as beebread.

Honey bees collect flower nectar and convert it to honey which is stored in their hives. Nectar and honey provide the energy for the bees' flight muscles and for heating the hive during the winter period. Honey bees also collect pollen which supplies protein and fat for bee brood to grow.
****The larva are feed a diet of only royal jelley, or bee's milk, made from a gland on their heads.
*****If you're asking about the Queen...she doesn't have time to fly around or eat so a group of five to ten workers feed her a small bit after she lays about 20 eggs.

They don't eat pollen, and they don't normally eat honey unless their normal food source dries up. They eat nectar, which they gather from flowers, and in the process pick up pollen which they transfer to the next flower they visit, thereby helping the flower to reproduce.
