Honey bees, as they develop, perform different tasks within the hive. From about 18 days old to about 21 days old bees take guard duty at the hive entrance. They challenge and check every bee that tries to enter the hive and will repel any not from their own colony. They will also defend the hive from attack by other creatures such as wasps or hornets, or mice, that may try to enter the hive.
The guard bees' ultimate weapon is, of course, their sting.
During the time bees are guard bees, they will also take orientation flights to learn the local area, ready for their next task, forager which they will do for the rest of their life.
