They don't.

Queen bees don't normally leave the hive, and there is only one in each hive.

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.


Do honey bees sting each other?

It can happen. They won't sting members of their own colony, but if bees from another colony try to enter the hive to steal the honey the guard bees will sting them. A newly-emerged queen will go around the hive looking for other queen cells. If she finds any she will sting through the cell walls to kill the developing queen inside them.

What problem stop bees to make honey?

bees are usually distracted in making honey by human activity, the beekeepers disturb the bees for a good cause to extract the honey from the hive and sell the honey to the store. when a beekeeper comes to take the honey most of the bees go to the beekeeper to sting him, thats why he wears the suit. :D


When honey is not harvested where does it go?

Unharvested honey remains in the hive. The honey that is not harvested is consumed by the bees in the hive to remain alive. A talented beekeeper knows how much honey he can remove from the hive and not harm the bees.

Do honey bees make honey?

Yes, bees need honey for their survival. Honey is the bees main source of food during winter months. During warmer seasons, bees usually feast on nectar from flowers. With exception to the Queen who eats "royal jelly". A specially mixed nectar made by her worker bees which contains huge amounts of vitamins, promoting growth and fertility in the Queen. Any nectar that the bees bring back to the hive are stored in little wax cells. Nectar is actually rather watery. But the heat inside the hive and the fanning of cool air by the bees wings helps the nectar to dry, forming honey. Once nectar is dry enough the bees will cover it up with wax to protect it. During colder months when most of the flowers wither and stop producing large amounts of nectar, the bees break open the wax seals on the honeycombs and eat the honey. Honey, due to the high natural sugar content and humid storage, never spoils. So it can be stored in the hive for months. Bees are actually a lot more complex and social than most people realise. They have a complex monarchy system, where the Queen is even fed better food than the rest of the bees. Bees also very carefully ration their honey supplies, so there is always enough to go around. They all have different "jobs" too. Not every bee is a nectar collector. Some bees are assigned to fanning nectar with their wings, others are assigned to babysitting larvae, then there's the Queens personal bodyguard bees, the honeycomb wax sealers, the "guard" bees flying around outside the hive and so on. So, to answer your question, yes. Bees need honey to feed on during cold, winter months. Until the warmer months when they finally leave the hive again to replace all the honey they ate.
