Honey bees are able to produce wax from a gland on their body. By sticking the flakes of wax together they produce the walls of the cells that make up a honeycomb.
Male honey bees, known as drones, are larger than female honey bees, which are worker bees. Drones do not have stingers and their main role is to mate with the queen bee. Female worker bees are smaller, have stingers, and perform tasks such as collecting nectar, making honey, and caring for the hive.
The number of bees in a hive varies through the year. At the end of winter there will probably be around 10,000 bees, but in mid-summer there could be around 60,000 bees.
In a hive, there can be multiple queen bees present, but usually only one queen bee will dominate and lay eggs.
The cells in a bee hive are hexagonal in shape. This shape allows for efficient use of space and optimal storage of honey, pollen, and eggs. The uniformity of the cells also helps in maintaining the structural integrity of the hive. The hexagonal shape of the cells allows bees to maximize storage capacity while minimizing the amount of wax needed to construct the hive.
Bees secrete beeswax to build honeycombs. Beeswax is a natural lipid produced by glands on the bee's abdomen.
A bee hive isn't hexagonal. The cells that bees make from wax inside a bee hive are hexagonal and the bees use these cells to raise young bees and to store honey and pollen.
They first find bees to help them and then they find a queen bee the queen lays the eggs to make the hives while some bees make the hive and some comfort the queen bee.
Yes, female bumble bees do lay eggs. The queen bee lays eggs that hatch into worker bees, drones, and future queen bees. The eggs are laid in cells within the bee colony.
worker bees pollinate, clean empty cells in the honey comb, make cells from bees wax, take care of the young, guard the hive entrance, and they cool the hive by fanning their wings slowly.

No, infact Bee-keeping means raising them.
"bees" is the plural of "bee." One bee, many bees.
Words that can be made from the letters in 'bees' are be, bee, and see.
do you mean the person that keeps the bees? the beekeeper
Bees are born in a honeycomb within a beehive. The queen bee lays eggs in the honeycomb cells, and the larvae hatch from these eggs. They undergo a transformation process inside the cells before emerging as adult bees.
To quote Shakespeare: "To bee or not to bee [social], that is the question."
