I have just tried to export the following document:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports both
(+ 1 1)
#+end_src
The exported HTML file contains the expression '(+ 1 1)' along with '2',
its value. It follows that Emacs does evaluate source blocks on export.
(Note that Org did not add RESULTS to the Org file during export, for no
export should ever modify the source file in any way.)

By default, the Org mode captures the value of the last expression. In
your case, the last expression has the value of 'bar'.
If you want to capture something else for the result, such as standard
output, you must tell Org Babel about it with the ':results' argument.
It makes sense, if you think about it. The computer cannot possibly
know what you want to capture.
