What natural resources are used to make honey?

Bees primarily collect nectar from flowers to make honey. This nectar is the main natural resource used in the production of honey. Bees also require water and various plant resins to create honey.


Which spices of honey bees give the best products?

Research has shown that the highest production figures come from a bee that is a cross between the European honey bee (apis mellifera mellifera) and the African honey bee (apis mellifera scutella). However that cross produces what has become known as the 'killer' bee, because they are less docile and more likely to sting. On balance, this disadvantage outweighs any production advantage so beekeepers tend to use the pure European honey bee.


What are the uses of a honey bee hive?

Most plants require insects to transfer pollen from one flower to another, and most of this pollination is done by bees. Without pollination, plants would not produce seeds or fruit, so bees are not just useful, they are essential for life as we know it.

What is the difference between honeybees and bumblebees?

Body shape is different: a honey bee's body is similar to that of a wasp, while the bumble bee has a round body. The bumble bee is also known for it's hairy or fuzzy appearance. Honey bees, although having a fine hairs appear much smoother. Bumble bees are also usually black and yellow in colour, honey bees more shades of brown. Bumble bees are similar to honey bees in that a hive will consist of a queen, female worker bees, and male drones, who are responsible for mating with the queen. They do produce honey, but in very small amounts, so they are not used for commercial honey production. Another similarity is that only the females possess stingers. Bumble bees tend to live in fairly small nests, which are usually in the ground. For this reason, they do not swarm like honey bees. Bumble bees can thrive in colder climates than most honey bees because they can regulate their body temperature and they have furry bodies. With many bumble bee varieties, only the queen will survive over the winter, and she hibernates in her nest. Honey bees do not hibernate, and although the drones are evicted from the hive at the end of summer and die, the queen and workers over-winter in the hive, taking the opportunity to forage whenever the air temperature is high enough.
