Can bees sting other bees?

Yes, they can -- and do!Bees entering the hive are checked by the guard bees to see whether they belong to that colony. If an unrecognized bee is carrying nectar or pollen and behaves in a submissive manner when challenged, more than likely it will be allowed in. If it is carrying nothing, or if it doesn't submit then it will be repelled. If it persists, the guard bees will sting it and kill it.

How do hornets defend themselves?

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.

What insects kill honey bees and why?

When their natural food supplies dry up, wasps can be hungry enough to raid a honey bee hive in order to get to the honey stores. An individual wasp will easily be repelled by the guard bees, but a concerted attack by a large number of wasps can succeed in gaining entry and the result will be a lot of dead bees -- and dead wasps.


Do bees return to the same nest?

A foraging bee will always return to its home hive. Any bee trying to enter the wrong hive will be challenged by the guard bees at the entrance and will generally be repelled, though a single bee who exhibits submissive behaviour to the guard bees may be accepted. This behaviour by the guard bees is to prevent the hive's food stocks being robbed by other colonies.
