What happens to honey bees in winter?
During winter, honey bees form a cluster inside the hive to keep warm. They vibrate their wing muscles to generate heat and protect the queen at the center. They rely on stored honey and pollen for food during the winter when there are fewer flowers available.
How do you think the hive of bees survive the winter when there are no flowers to feed on?
Foraging bees will fly up to three miles (five kilometres) from the hive to find sources of nectar, but when nectar is not available bees will feed on their stored honey. A bee colony will normally store more than enough honey during the summer to see them through the following winter. When a beekeeper takes honey from the hive, he will make sure the bees survive the winter by providing sugar syrup for them to feed on.
What time do bees go to sleep?
in the winter
What is the difference of a hornets and honey bees?
Ground bees are native bees. They can pollinate plants and feed on nectar, but they do no need to create food store to survive through the winter. Almost all die off. Honey bees pollinate plants as a side-effect of their nectar-gathering activities. Because they maintain a population over winter, they need to store food. Hence, they make honey. ___________ Honey bees will be a colony of thousands in one nest, where ground bees are solitary bees, one bee (raising a brood) to the nest, though there may be dozens of these solitary nest in the same area Lar
What are the foods of the bees?
The food of bees is necter
Why are honey bees eaiest to take care of?
I am not sure easiest is necessarily the best word, but the reason we keep honey bees rather than any other variety of bee is for the honey. Although other bees, such as bumble bees, do make honey it is only in small amounts because they don't need to save stores for the winter (the queens hibernate, the others die). Honey bees on the other hand don't hibernate so need to build up a stock of food during the summer to take them through the winter when nectar is not available. Beekeepers take most -- but not all -- of this honey then feed the bees during the winter with sugar syrup.
Do bees eat the honey they make?
Yes, bees produce honey as a food source for themselves. They store honey in the hive to eat during times when food is scarce, such as winter. Honey is rich in nutrients and serves as their primary energy source.
Why do pollen grains have a store of carbohydrates?
To provide food for the bees
What do honey bees eat as alternative food?
Honey bees primarily eat nectar and pollen collected from flowers. As an alternative food source, they can also consume sugar syrup or honey provided by beekeepers. It's important to ensure the alternative food is nutritionally balanced to support the health of the honey bees.
Do bees live in the hive during winter?
Yes.
Do bees fly south in winter?
No they don't. THEY DIE
