WHO EATS WHAT?.............

okay, i will wade into this scientific question........

jen, drones are fed but drones can and will consume uncapped/capped honey. i dunno about the pollen.
queens can feed themselves if need be.
worker bees, (foragers, guard bees, etc)  and nurse bees. the most important force in the hive. the nurse bees and worker bees need the nutrition in pollen and nectar/honey to feed one another and themselves, the queen, the drones and the developing bees in the hive. for sustenance, for health, for survival.
