What type lipid does bees create this lipid to build honeycombs?
Bees create beeswax, a type of lipid, to build honeycombs. Beeswax is produced from special glands on the bees' abdomen and is used as a protective coating for the honeycomb cells.
What is the biological source of honey?
Honey is produced by bees from the nectar of flowers. Bees collect nectar and then regurgitate and store it in honeycombs, where enzymes break it down into a concentrated sugar solution that eventually becomes honey.
What is the difference between a brood chamber and comb foundations?
A brood chamber is the part of a beehive where bees raise their brood (eggs, larvae, and pupae), while comb foundations are sheets of beeswax or plastic that provide a guide for bees to build their honeycomb. The brood chamber can contain brood cells, food storage cells, and queen cells, while comb foundations are used to encourage bees to build straight and uniform combs for honey storage or brood rearing.
Do male bees sting, or is it only the female bees that have stingers?
Only female bees have stingers, while male bees do not.
How do bees turn pollen into honey?
They don't. Pollen is not used to make honey. Bees collect nectar from flowers. When they return to the hive it is regurgutated into comb cells. The heat of the hive, together with bees fanning the nectar cells with their wings, drive off water from the nectar. The result is honey.
What type lipid does bees create this lipid to build honeycombs?
Bees create beeswax, a type of lipid, to build honeycombs. Beeswax is produced from special glands on the bees' abdomen and is used as a protective coating for the honeycomb cells.
What structures do the honeybee use to build their homes?
Bees build their homes in honeycombs. The honeycombs are a series of hexagonal cells. See related links for a drawing showing the parts of a domestic honeybee hive.
Why do bees use hexagons to build honeycombs?
because that is their known shape and the queen bee likes that shape ,sincerly bee expert
What do bees do in their hives?
They make honeycombs that's where you get honey from.
How beekeepers gather the honey from a beehive?
They smoke out the bees before removing the honeycombs.
What is source of wax?
Wax is a natural substance secreted by bees to build their honeycombs. It can also be derived from plants, such as carnauba wax from the leaves of the carnauba palm, or produced synthetically from petroleum.
What is the most surprising thing researchers found about the way bees build their honeycombs?
Researchers have found that bees build their honeycombs using a remarkable hexagonal structure, which is surprisingly efficient in terms of space and material use. The hexagon allows bees to maximize storage capacity while minimizing the amount of wax they need to produce. Additionally, studies have shown that the bees may start with circular cells that naturally transform into hexagons due to the heat and pressure from their bodies, highlighting their remarkable adaptability and efficiency in construction. This unique building technique showcases the intricate engineering skills of these insects.
Where do bees get the wax to make honeycombs?
honey trying to protect there food with the wax they make.
What material do bees make their honeycomb out of?
They make their comb out of beeswax, which is produced from wax glands on the underside of the abdomens of young worker bees.
Is beeswax honey?
No, beeswax is extruded from wax glands on the underside of the abdomen of worker bees as thin plates of wax. These are manipulated by the bees' manidbles to shape them and put them where the bee wants them.
How is honey obtained from bees?
After the bees have made the honey, they store it in honeycombs; small cells sealed with wax. If these honeycombs are made a certain way, they can be remover and replaced easily. A beekeeper takes out the honeycomb, cuts the wax off, and lets the honey flow out into a collection container (then replaces the used honeycomb). The honey is then taken away and processed into what we see in the jars at the supermarket.
What is the biological source of honey?
Honey is produced by bees from the nectar of flowers. Bees collect nectar and then regurgitate and store it in honeycombs, where enzymes break it down into a concentrated sugar solution that eventually becomes honey.
