Bees can survive without nectar for quite a time (during winter, for example) if either:
1) you don't confiscate ALL of the honey they have sealed with wax in their combs against such an occasion as winter;
2) you feed them. Syrop is usually used for it.

So I don't doubt Noah or one of his numerous family were experienced bee keepers and knew how to help the insects survive.
But that would mean they were kept on the ark, total relism said insects weren't kept on the ark...
