You are anthropomorphizing honey bees, they are not like people. Children,
for the most part do not make judgements of this kind like an adult would. I
think bees are very intelligent. For whatever reason bees prefer nectar over
sugar syrup and you think bees would prefer watered down honey over sugar
syrup and so do I. In my opinion this is probably because they know
something that you do not. Not only that but they probably know something
even the scientist do not yet know. I will give the benefit of the doubt to
the bees and leave honey for the best nutrition that I could ever provide.
