Bees release a liquid through their strong-smelling legs that they can use to mark their feeding sites. Basically it is a demarcation of the territory with a bouquet of bees’ stinky feet.
A single honey bee collects around 3 grams of honey in its lifetime. That's about a teaspoon. To do this, she has to collect about three times as much nectar.
When forager bees have sucked up the nectar of a flower they visited, they mark it with a special scent so that their colleagues know that there is nothing left to get there. The scent consists of a specific pheromone, which is transmitted to the flower by an adhesive patch on the hind legs.
Sometimes when temperatures are too high, flower nectar turns to alcohol and then bees collect fermented juice. This makes them drunk and it can take up to two days for the alcohol intoxication to wear off.
