I assume the question is more to do with the bee's honey crop and its ability to carry nectar rather than its true digestive stomach, the ventriculus. The honey crop is to a certain extent elastic so you can't quote an absolute size but it can hold up to around 100 milligrams of nectar, although most bees will return to the hive with about 40 milligrams.
