This is the most frequently asked question of all beekeepers!

Here is then, some of the answer, without the hard words.

Some flowers produce nectar, which seems to have no other function than
to
attract insects, which accidentally collect pollen on their body hairs.
When
the insects go to other flowers they accidentally transfer the pollen to
that flower's receptive organ, the pollen fertilises the ova to make
seeds.

Haven't read all that, which was interesting... The uses you can put the
product to are limited aren't they?

No.

Making mead with it being the most useful one...

That's not particularly useful, it can be enjoyable and you seem to be
thinking that honey is the only product of the hive.
