Honey bees live in hives, formed by the bees themselves, usually. Occasionally, however, apiaries, man-made beehives, will house many bees, so that the honey can be harvested.
By far the biggest reason bees are kept in the USA, and Canada for that matter, is for the pollination of agricultural crops. The production of honey is actually just a pleasant side benefit, for the most part, although there are many apiaries for which honey production is their only reason for bee keeping.
A swarm of honey bees can have as many as 25,000 bees in it.
We only collect honey from honey bees, and there are seven species of honey bee worldwide.
There are many different kinds of bees, but some common types include honeybees, bumblebees, carpenter bees, and mason bees. Each type of bee has its own unique characteristics, behaviors, and habitats. Honeybees are known for their production of honey, while bumblebees are important pollinators for many plants. Carpenter bees nest in wood, while mason bees use mud to build their nests.
Bee can get honey 2 to 3 times a year. Honey from bees are a seasonal thing.
There are approximately 4500-5000 honey bees in a pound. So in 3 pounds, there would be around 13,500-15,000 honey bees.
705,000,000
Both are economically significant insects. Honey bees are also important pollinators of many plants.
A bee (there are several kinds - honey, bumble, etc) are colony living, flying insects. There are also "solitary bees" that don't live in colonies. Bees are efficient pollinators, as well as producing honey, and their apparent demise (at the moment) is a worry for most people, especially apple growers. Many people who depend on the bees.
No, but there are many species of honey bees that will crossbreed
Many plants produce nectar which is turned into honey by bees.
