Without vegetation the honey bees cannot exist for example the South Pole and North Pole have snow all year, so there is no work for them, no vegetation that needs pollination. There are many countries in between the North and South Poles where there is plenty of vegetation with the exclusion of deserts. The deserts are not suitable because there is insufficient rainfall for plant growth and a lack of water, unlike the camel they do not have a hump for storing water. All those sandstorms would make it extremely difficult to manage your beehive, besides their survival would also be near impossible if not impossible.
