Why do honey bees get drunk off the flowering palm tree in my back yard?

White flowering palm tree. Bees swarm around the flowers and eventually fall to the ground. Apparently the flowers contain some kind of drug that affects the bees so they cannot fly,walk or turn over. I cannot see other insects or birds that visit the tree.

As you said, they are drunk.

The flowers produce sugar, and where there is sugar, water and warmth, there are yeast cells and therefore alcohol. The bees drink this alcoholic nectar and - well, they get a buzz. Another one.

Fortunately for them, their brains are tiny so the hangover probably doesn't amount to much :)
