Precious honey

Bees collect nectar from flowering plants all day, transforming the nectar into honey in their stomachs. The honey is stored in the combs of their hive as a food resource for their young or for the colony to use during hard times. The bees will always fight to the death to save thier precious honey rather than allow it to be taken by bears with a sweet tooth. The bear destroys the colony and the young grubs won't survive out in the open. So after a devastating raid, the bees have to rescue what they can from the destruction. They have the abiity to eat their own weight in honey, so they consume as much as they can before heading off to construct a new hive.
