What do bumble bee eat?
Bumble bees live on pretty much the same diet as honey bees: pollen and nectar (the basis of honey).
Do bees collect pollen in a group?
It may appear that bees are foraging in a group because there are so many of them, but each bee is working on its own. When a bee returns to the hive after finding a new source of nectar it communicates the location and type of plant to other bees in the hive, and they then will go to the same place to forage.
What do killer bees eat?
Killer bees, or Africanized honey bees, primarily feed on nectar and pollen like other bee species. They rely on these food sources to provide the energy and nutrients needed for their survival. Additionally, they may consume honey to sustain themselves and their colony throughout the year.
Do bees and hummingbirds get along in the same environment?
Bees and hummingbirds can coexist in the same environment because they have different feeding preferences and do not compete for the same resources. Bees are attracted to flowers with nectar and pollen, while hummingbirds are drawn to flowers with nectar. This allows them to share the same space without much conflict.
What bees pollinate?
As bees take nectar from a flower, pollen gets transferred from the stamen on to the bee's body. When the bee goes to the next flower some of this pollen is transferred to the stigma, fertilizing the flower. Once a bee starts collecting nectar from a particular type of flower it will keep going to the same type of flower as long as it can, keeping the pollen to the same type of flower.

Who gathers all the pollen and nectar?
Pollinators visit flowers for the nectar and inadvertedly transfer pollen (either from same flower or one visited previously) from the male anthers to the female stigma.Pollinators include the following:BatsHummingbirds, honeyeaters and sunbirdsMonkeys, lemurs, possums, rodents and lizards.Humans "hand pollinate" without the need for the nectar harvest.Honey bees, bumblebees, and other bees with "pollen basket" on hind legs.Hoverflies and other fly species.Wasps (several species)Butterflies and moths.Beetles
What kind of flowers do bees eat?
Daisys, tulips, marigolds. Mostly its the bright colored flowers such as those I do believe. Bees cannot see red, but see ultraviolet wavelengths so colors in the blue and violet spectrum are attractive (ie - rosemary). If a flower is a good producer of nectar or pollen, bees will be attracted to it regardless of color. See the links below for some examples.Sunflowers
Do bees have the same job their whole life?
No, bees have different roles at different stages of their life. For example, younger bees typically work inside the hive, caring for the brood and maintaining the hive, while older bees serve as foragers, collecting nectar and pollen.
Is honey the same as nectar?
