A storage room for nectar is what the honey stomach of a bee is.
Specifically, the term is synonymous with crop and honey sac. It represents one of two stomachs on the honeybee (Apisspp). It will hold almost the bee's weight - 70+ milligrams/0.00246917734 ounces - in the collected nectar from the blossoms and flowers on berry bushes, clovers, dandelions and fruit trees.
A honey stomach of a bee is a specialized organ that allows bees to store nectar collected from flowers. This nectar is then transported back to the hive where it is converted into honey by enzymes produced in the bees' bodies. The honey stomach plays a crucial role in the honey-making process.
NO! Honey is made from nectar which is collected from flowers. It has been stored in a special nectar stomach, then regurgitated back at the hive. It has not passed through the bee's gut.
Yes, honey is made by bees regurgitating nectar and enzymes multiple times to create the final product. It may seem unappetizing, but honey is a nutritious and delicious sweetener enjoyed by many around the world.

Honey bees gather nectar by visiting flowers and consuming it using their proboscis. Once their honey stomach is filled, they carry the nectar back to the hive in a special pouch located inside their bodies called the honey stomach or crop.
There are three main species of honey bees that are commonly used for honey production: Apis mellifera (European honey bee), Apis cerana (Asian honey bee), and Apis dorsata (Giant honey bee). Among these species, Apis mellifera is the most popular for honey production due to its higher honey production capacity and gentler temperament.
The honey crop, or honey stomach, is a sac between the bee's oesophagus and its stomach. It is used for carrying nectar, water or honey. Nectar that is to be used for making honey does not go past the honey crop, so never actually enters the bee's digestive stomach.
The pollen basket of a honey bee is located on the tibia and first tarsal segment of their hind legs.
A bee uses its honey stomach to add various enzymes to the nectar that it has collected from flowers and turn it into honey.

Technically honey. The nectar is stored in an organ called the "honey stomach" which is part of the bee's esophagus. But the honey stomach, which is also known as the honey sac, crop, or ingluvies-is a specialised organ designed to expand and store nectar until it can be ferried back to the hive. Once the foraging bee returns home she regurgitates the contents of the honey stomach and, through the process of trophallaxis, transfers it to a house bee. The house bee will begin to process the nectar into honey. Honey bees also have an organ for digestion called the ventriculus also called the mid-gut. The mid-gut occurs after the honey stomach and is separated from it by the proventriculus which is a muscular organ that regulates the opening between these two parts of the alimentary canal. Further down the line are the intestines, rectum, and anus.

A honey bee has a 'honey stomach'. This is separate from and in front of its digestive stomach and is used only for storing nectar. In order to fill the honey stomach the bee will visit anything up to 1,500 flowers, and the weight of the collected nectar will weigh almost as much as the bee itself.
A bee has one digestive stomach and a crop, sometimes called the honey stomach. The crop is where nectar is stored while it is being taken back to the hive and is not strictly a part of the digestive system as no digestion occurs in it.

The common name for the Killer Bee is the Africanized Honey Bee.
The common name for honey bees is simply "honey bee."
I hope that that bee is not an Africanized honey bee.
