Why do bees have fur?

Best Answer

Honey bees and indeed other bees do have hairs on them. The word 'born' is a little vague since the eggs first hatch to produce a larva (arguably this is the point of birth) but then go on to develop into the fully formed insect and be 'born again' as they emerge from their cell/cocoon.

As larvae they have no hairs but as bees they emerge with hairs. One of the ways that beekeepers recognize a much older bee is by its loss of hairs that in time become rubbed off by the brushing past comb and other bees inside the hive.
