How do bees breathe?
Bees breathe through a complex structure of network of tracheas (or wind pipes) and air sacs. Oxygen is vacuumed into the body through openings on each segment of their bodies. The pull air in, then close their outermost vents and force the air into little tubules that get smaller and smaller until they reach the cells they need to. Bees cannot breathe when they are coated with certain things and instead of using poison (harmful to humans and pets), environment friendly exterminators use a dusty component to smother the bees.

How does a bee breathe?
Bees have a system of air tubes called tracheae that deliver oxygen directly to their cells. These tracheae open to the outside through tiny holes on the bee's abdomen known as spiracles, allowing for gas exchange. Bees do not have lungs like humans, and their respiratory system is adapted to their small size and high energy demands.
Do bees have lungs?
No, bees do breathe oxygen and expel carbon dioxide; however, they do not have lungs for respiration. "Rather they have a system of tubes which carry oxygen to and carbon dioxide away from cells. This system of breathing tubes, or tracheae, is connected to the outside world by a series of holes ... called spiracles. When the bee is inactive gas exchange can operate simply by diffusion, but during periods of increased activity bees pump their abdomens to increase gas exchange, using expanded sacs of the trachea as bellows.
Do bumble bees make holes in wood?
No, but carpenter bees do.
