The details are more complicated than you\u2019d think. Cannabis flowers don\u2019t produce nectar, so bees can\u2019t make honey from them. Since cannabis plants pollinate via wind movement, they do not need to attract pollinators like bees by producing the energy-intensive substance. Therefore, not only is there nothing for bees to make honey from in cannabis flowers, but bees seem to have no reason to even visit cannabis flowers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, bees <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/ee\/article-abstract\/49\/1\/197\/5634339?redirectedFrom=fulltext&amp;login=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">do visit cannabis flowers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and scientists are conducting further studies into how these flowers may provide a source of nutrients for bees during periods of floral scarcity. Moreover, some trending bee experts on the internet claim to have successfully produced cannabis honey with their bees. How is this possible? This article is here to sort out all your questions about cannabis, bees, and honey, separating the hype from the facts. Before you start telling your friends that bees naturally produce cannabis honey, take a moment to review what we actually know about their relationship with the cannabis plant.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2><b>The Buzz on Bees and Cannabis<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-39050\" src=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pexels-pixabay-460961-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Bee on a flower\" width=\"751\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pexels-pixabay-460961-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pexels-pixabay-460961-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pexels-pixabay-460961-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pexels-pixabay-460961-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pexels-pixabay-460961-2048x1535.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 751px) 100vw, 751px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since cannabis is a wind-pollinated plant, it does not produce the nectar that usually draws bees to a flower, but male plants release large amounts of pollen, which can serve as a valuable resource for bees. Bees suck up nectar, not pollen, although bees can collect cannabis pollen. However, because cannabis is not a nectar-producing plant, bees would only feed off of the plant if it was their last resort, or if they receive a reward afterward, such as sugar water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies have observed bees, including honey bees, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0961953419300248\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">visiting male hemp plants<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to collect pollen, especially during periods when other floral resources are scarce. This suggests that male cannabis plants may play an important role in supporting pollinator populations in agricultural landscapes.\u00a0 A 2019 study in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biomass and Bioenergy <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reported on the species of bees found visiting various hemp plants in Colorado. Of these species, the European honeybee represented 38% of the floral visitors. Scientists claim that the abundant pollen found in male hemp plants may provide bees with a critical nutritional resource during times when other flowering crops have finished blooming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/cannabinoids-and-the-endocannabinoid-system-a-match-made-in-heaven\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">endocannabinoid system<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is present in virtually all animal species, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC6770351\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">insects<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> like bees are the exception.

Therefore, bees cannot get high on cannabis despite feeding off its flower, which contains cannabinoids.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding why bees are attracted to hemp is particularly significant because <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/could-cannabis-save-the-worlds-dwindling-bee-population\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bee populations face numerous environmental stressors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and access to diverse and dependable nutritional resources is essential for their health and survival. Thus, hemp could play an important role for pollinators in future decisions for agricultural and ecological planning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because lawmakers legalized hemp for commercial farming only in 2018, researchers are now actively exploring how it supports pollinators\u2014an effort that could impact sustainable agriculture in meaningful ways.. Recognizing hemp&#8217;s ecological role as a supplementary source of food for bees can help farmers, land managers, and policymakers integrate it into broader efforts to sustain bee populations and ensure continued effective pollination cycles for a variety of agricultural products.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/male-cannabis-plant-benefits\/\">The Underappreciated Male Cannabis Plant: Its Uses and Benefits<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<h2><b>Can Bees Make Funny Honey?<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is already psychoactive honey named \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC9080652\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mad honey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u201d\u00a0 which is honey contaminated with grayanotoxin found in plants of the Rhododendron genus.

He has trained his bees in a variety of ways, and he has also trained them to collect the fruit instead of the usual flowers they would tend to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this process, bees can make cannabinoid honey by incorporating the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/trichomes-the-key-that-controls-cannabis-potency\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">trichomes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from cannabis resin into their honey. This resin would have to come from female cannabis plants for its psychoactive cannabinoids, including THC and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/cbd\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cannabidiol<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (CBD). The bees harvest the resin from the cannabis plant, take it back to their hive, and process it as propolis. Propolis acts like a poly-filler to help repair, structure, and clean their hives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When THC becomes infused in propolis via cannabis resin, it becomes infused into the honey. Lab tests found 30 milligrams of THC in every 10 grams of Trainerbees honey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trained bees feeding off female plants could provide a win-win for the bees and those in the psychoactive cannabis industry.\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/is-cbd-psychoactive-yes-it-is-and-heres-why\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, CBD is psychoactive too<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which means that those industries will benefit, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More research needs to be done into this, despite that cannabis honey is already hitting the markets. It seems that trained bees are the only natural way to produce honey with cannabinoids. How they\u2019re trained and how they\u2019re able to take in the cannabis trichomes, as though it were nectar, still needs to be looked into, as well as the content, effects, and quantity of cannabinoids in the honey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the meantime, if you want to make your own cannabis-infused honey,\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/boost-your-well-being-with-this-easy-cannabis-infused-honey-recipe\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">check out this recipe<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

However, some claim bees can infuse honey with cannabinoids via propolis.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>How do bees make honey naturally?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bees collect nectar from flowers, store it in their honey stomachs, and break it down with enzymes. The bees then deposit the processed nectar into honeycomb cells and fan it with their wings to evaporate moisture, creating honey.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>Can you clone cannabis with honey?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honey\u2019s antiseptic properties are conducive to root growth, which means it can be used as a natural rooting agent for cloning cannabis plants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>What plant do honey bees like the most?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bees prefer nectar-rich plants like lavender, daisies, and clover, along with native species that vary by region and season.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>Is cannabis honey strong?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carefully measure the dosage of cannabis honey, as its potency depends on the infusion method and THC content. If you are making your own cannabis honey, this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/edible-dosage-calculator\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dosage calculator<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help you make it as strong or mild as you please.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>Why is smoke used when harvesting honey?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smoke masks alarm pheromones and makes the bees less aggressive. It also prompts them to retreat into the hive, making it safer and easier for beekeepers to collect honey.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>Do normal bees make honey?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The common honey bee (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apis mellifera<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) is well-known for making honey. Other bee species may produce honey, but they do so in much smaller amounts.
