What bees grab when they’re hungry and busy? Mostly nectar. In general, the majority of bees feed on nectar and pollen, but the latter is consumed mainly by developing larvae, as it contains much protein and other substances essential for growth. Adults need mostly sugars to get energy for flying and doing everything they need to do. They consume pollen, too (females need it for producing eggs!) but in smaller quantities than their kids.
