How many more girl bees live in a hive than boys?
The larger queen bee is the sole egg layer in a hive. The many workers are all female. Drones are all male and are much less than workers in number.
What happen to bees if queen die?
If the bees have eggs that are less than three days old, they will raise emergency queen cells and feed an egg on royal jelly which will allow them to raise a new queen. If they haven't got eggs that are less than three days old, some of the worker bees will start to lay eggs which will be infertile and will be born as drones. Because drones don't do any work, the colony will eventually die out.
What is the diameter of a Queen Victoria water lily?
While some say the flower of the Queen Victoria water lily's diameter is at least 2 meters, it's not the flower, but the leaves, that get that large. The fragrant, night-blooming, white flower's diameter can reach 18 inches (a little less than 1/2 meter)
How do honeybees behave when their hive is overcrowded?
Yes, bee hives do get overcrowded. A hive harbors bees in different life cycle stages, cells, and foods in preparatory and stored stages. It may become too small for its inhabitants and their possessions, in which case drones (male bees) will be ejected with less extreme overpopulation and new hives will be founded under separate queens with more severe overcrowding.
How long does it take a lily to flower?
A lily will flower in less than a year from planting the bulb.
What animal live in hive?
Drones, a queen, and workers are the bees that live in a hive. The drone is a male whose purpose is to mate with the queen or to perish during the winter in the event of not realizing the latter agenda. Worker bees operate as non-queen females whose responsibilities include caring for broods, foraging, and laying eggs which develop into drones or in females in special instances of queen-less hives.
How long does it take to grow a lily flower?
A lily will flower in less than a year from planting the bulb.
Why do yellow jackets swarm?
A swarm is nature's way of increasing the number of colonies.When a colony starts to get too big for its hive the queen will leave with about half of the workers to search for a new home. The remaining workers draw out cells with wax to form queen cells and take eggs recently laid by the departing queen and put them in the queen cells. When the eggs hatch the larvae are fed exclusively on royal jelly, which makes them develop into new queens, one of which will eventually be the new queen for the old hive.The old queen and workers fly off and will settle, usually on a tree branch or a similar structure a hundred metres or so from the old hive. The workers cluster around the queen, giving the traditional 'ball of bees'. From this, scout bees will go out to search for a likely place for a new home, something like a small cave or a hollow tree. They will eventually return and lead the swarm to it.Many people fear a swarm, thinking it is dangerous. This is not so. Before the bees leave the old hive they gorge themselves on honey, eating as much as they can because they don't know how long it will be before they can forage again. A bee that is full of honey is even more docile than usual and less likely to sting. It is believed that a bee that is really full can't sting because it can't bend its abdomen down to use the sting.
Are there female bees around besides the queen bee?
It used to be thought that the queen bee ruled the hive, rather like human monarchs, though this is not really true. The queen is not the only female in the hive: all worker bees are female, though the queen is the only one that lays eggs.
Why are people so interested in Beekeeping?
Because bees are very interesting and they produce such large amounts of honey. A colony of bees consists of three castes of bee: A large number of female workers and a number of male drones ranging from thousands in a strong hive in the spring, although it could be a lot less in the very cold season. The queen is the only sexually mature female in the hive and all of the female worker bees and male drones are her offspring/babies. The Queen can actually live for anything up to 3 years and in that time can produce millions of eggs; a Queen could produce 2,000 eggs in just one day. The Queen is also fed larger amounts of Royal Jelly then other normal worker bees, she needs the energy.
