Why do bees lay so many eggs?
The queen honey bee can lay over 1000 eggs per day. A colony of bees can contain up to 80000 workers and they only live for about six weeks in the summer as they literally work themselves to death, therefore it is necessary to continually replace the dying bees otherwise the colony numbers will dwindle and it will die out eventually.
Can honey bees live in coke cans?

How many bees in a swarm?
Usually about half of the bees in the hive leave in a swarm. The average hive can peak at around 60,000 bees, so it is reasonable to expect a swarm to be anything up to about 30,000 bees.

How can you tell which is the bee queen?
Because the queen is the only female in the colony that lays eggs she has highly developed ovaries which fill, and even enlarge, the abdomen, so the queen is usually larger than the other bees in the colony. In the case of honey bees, the queen's abdomen is about half as long again as that of a worker (sterile female).
How many trees can a bee pollinated?

How bees live?

Are honeybees the same as bees?
No. Some bumble bees are solitary but even the largest social bumble bee colonies are quite small with up to a couple of hundred members -- compared to a honey bee colony at 20,000 to 60,000 members. Also, bumble bees only store enough honey for their immediate needs because over the winter the new queens hibernate and the rest of the colony dies. With honey bees they have to build up a large stock of honey for food when they can't forage in the winter because they do not hibernate and a large part of the colony will survive through the winter.
What is the cause of laying worker bees?
If a colony of bees goes queenless and the bees are unable to raise a new queen, some of the workers will develop the internal organs necessary to lay eggs but the eggs will be infertile and end up as drones which means that the colony will eventually die. There is no way of recovering from this. If you try to introduce a new queen, the laying workers will kill her.
Are carpenter bees and bumble bees the same?

How are solitary bees different from social bees?
Solitary bees live alone and do not form colonies, while social bees such as honeybees live in colonies with a queen, workers, and drones. Solitary bees build individual nests for their offspring, while social bees collaborate to build and maintain a communal nest.
How does honey bees change its habitat to meet its needs?
I'm not entirely certain what you mean. Honey bees don't usually move away from the hive that they were born in except to swarm. The swarming process is the bees way of reproducing. If the hive has become overcrowded - and there are other reasons - the queen will leave the hive with up to half of the worker bees in the hive. They will then cluster on a nearby bush, tree, building etc while looking for a permanent home. As soon as they have found a suitable place, they will all go there and set up a new colony leaving the bees in the old colony to raise a new queen and continue the cycle. There would now be two colonies of bees where originally there was only one.
