This 25 June 2020 video shows a bumblebee licking aphids for their honeydew.

The bumblebees use the honey for making a special kind of honey, honeydew honey.

Laura Arends in the Netherlands made this video.

This is very interesting. I am well aware that ants tend aphids for their honeydew, but I had no idea bumblebees found them useful. Thanks for sharing the video. By the way, if you want to learn about the feeding pattern of aphids and how they affect plant sap, I found the attached article to be very information-packed. https://thebugagenda.com/what-do-aphids-eat/
