>> A quick internet search:  “The honey bee is a herbivorous animal and
therefore lives purely on the nutrients from plants."

That's what you'll get from the internet : )

But patently untrue, since every honey bee is reared on an animal diet--the
jelly produced by nurse bees.  And those nurses will readily consume eggs,
larvae, or pupae to convert them back into jelly.

Again, the issue is not about nutrition, it is about perception.
