Do you know what bees make?

The joke here involves a playful misunderstanding and a clever play on words. It begins with a question about bees, which are commonly known for making honey. The expected answer to “What do bees make?” is indeed “honey.” However, when the respondent answers “Honey?”, the questioner seizes the opportunity to create a pun. They respond with “Yes dear?”, as if the respondent is calling them “honey,” a term of endearment often used between romantic partners. The humor lies in the double meaning of “honey” – both as the substance produced by bees and as a pet name in a relationship.
