What is the time it takes for a honey bee grub to turn into an adult honey bee?
It takes a total of 21 days from the time that the queen lays an egg to the time that a larva hatches as a fully developed adult worker honey bee.
How does the survival of honey badger depends on bees?
Honey badgers rely on bees for food, particularly the honey and larvae found in beehives. They have developed a specialized adaptation where they are able to withstand bee stings, allowing them to access this food source. Without bees and their honey, the survival of honey badgers would be impacted.
What happens when you give a baby honey?
You shouldn't give a baby honey. Firstly, the baby's digestive system is not really developed enough to cope with a large amount of sugar -- and honey is almost all sugar. Secondly, there is a risk, albeit extremely small, that the honey is carrying the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This will not be in sufficient quantity to have any serious effect on an adult or older child, but could very seriously affect a baby whose immune system is not sufficiently developed to deal with it. This is why in some countries and states honey is labelled 'Not to be given to children under 12 months'
How much honey is in one comb of honey?
The amount of honey in one comb of honey can vary significantly depending on the size of the comb and the bee species. On average, a standard honeycomb can contain between 1 to 2 pounds (about 450 to 900 grams) of honey. However, larger or more developed combs may hold even more. The honey is stored in hexagonal wax cells that bees build as part of their hive structure.
How do honey bees make honey combs?
Honey bees create honeycombs by secreting beeswax from glands on their abdomen. They then mold the beeswax into the hexagonal cells of the comb using their mouths and legs. The comb serves as a storage unit for honey, pollen, and eggs within the hive.
When was beekeeping first developed?
Cave paintings have been found of people collecting honey which have been dated as several thousand years old and a Pharaoh's tomb was opened and honey was found inside which had been deposited there during the burial ceremonies which would have been about 5000 years ago. Beekeeping using modern hives was developed in the 1850's by the Reverend Lorenzo Langstroth.
What sense is not highly developed in the Brown bear?

Why do some Honey locust have thorns and others not?
Normally, honey locusts have thorns, which they developed as a kind of protection. However, there is a variation (G. t. inermis) that is thornless, and occasionally found growing in the wild. It's, as you can imagine, sought after by humans as an alternative to the thorned variety.
Can you eat honey that has gone bad?
Honey does not spoil in the traditional sense due to its low moisture content and natural acidity, which create an inhospitable environment for bacteria and mold. However, if honey has crystallized or developed an off smell or taste, it may not be pleasant to consume. Generally, crystallized honey can be restored by gently heating it. If you notice any signs of fermentation or unusual changes, it's best to err on the side of caution and discard it.
Can the western honey bee remove Varroa mites from other bees in the hive?
The varroa mite originally came from east Asia where they were a parasite of the Asiatic honey bee (Apis cerana). Over the millenia in which these creatures have lived together the Asiatic honey bee had developed several behaviours to keep the varroa under check, one of which is to pick mites off each other.The Western/European honey bee (Apis mellifera) has only had to deal with varroa for a very few decades -- a mere blink of the eye in developmental terms -- and has not developed these behaviours, so although physically capable of removing mites from each other, they don't.
