Bees and Beekeeping

Bees typically do not live inside houses, but they may build hives in or near houses if they find a suitable location, such as a hole in the wall or attic. It is important to contact a professional beekeeper or pest control expert to safely remove any beehives from a house.

When she returns from foraging, a honey bee will regurgitate droplets of nectar and pass them to the hive bees who then take them up to the storage cells on the comb and put the nectar in. Other bees will fan the nectar with their wings, and this, together with the temperature in the hive (around 35C), evaporates water from the nectar, turning it into honey.

The hive bees also clean pollen off the returning forager, and take the pollen from the pollen baskets on her hind legs, and store this in other cells on the comb.

The ground dwelling yellow jacket is not a true hornet but is native to North America. The scientific name of this insect is Vespula maculifrons.

Bees serve several important ecological roles, primarily as pollinators. They play a crucial role in pollinating flowering plants, including many crops that humans rely on for food. Additionally, bees produce honey and beeswax, which have economic and medicinal value.

Bees do not have ears in the traditional sense, but they can sense vibrations and changes in air pressure that allow them to communicate through movements and pheromones. This form of communication helps them coordinate activities within the hive and forage for food efficiently.

Probably not, but some flowers reflect light in the ultra violet part of the spectrum which we cannot see, but many insects can. So, bees may be able to see flowers we can't when it is getting dark.

No, bees are not warm-blooded. They are cold-blooded insects, meaning they rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature. Bees can generate some body heat through muscle activity, but they do not maintain a constant internal temperature like warm-blooded animals do.

Bees are born from eggs laid by the queen bee in the hive. Once the eggs hatch, baby bees (larvae) are fed by worker bees until they pupate and eventually emerge as adult bees. The process typically takes a few weeks for worker bees and a bit longer for drones or queen bees.

Yes, and they always do so outside of the hive.

Beeswax is produced by honeybees. Worker bees secrete beeswax from glands on the underside of their abdomen. They use the wax to build honeycomb cells for storing honey, pollen, and to raise their young.

Bees collect pollen on their hairy bodies as they move from flower to flower. The pollen sticks to their bodies and is then carried back to the hive in special pollen baskets on their hind legs. This pollen is used as food for the bees and to help pollinate other flowers.

Bees do not make a traditional "sound" like birds or mammals. They communicate through a variety of vibrations and movements, such as buzzing, wing flapping, and dancing. The most commonly recognized sound associated with bees is the buzzing noise created by their rapid wing movements while flying.

In some countries or states bees are a protected species. This is in recognition of the importance of bees in ecology and because they are under enough threats already without us adding to them.

Bees typically stay inside their hives at night to rest and conserve energy. They are diurnal insects, meaning they are most active during the day when flowers are open and they can forage for food. Bees rely on sunlight for navigation and to regulate their internal body temperature, which is why they are not commonly seen out at night.

Male bees are known as drones. They are larger than female worker bees and do not have stingers. Their main role is to mate with the queen bee.

Bees adapt to their environment by building hives in sheltered locations, regulating the temperature inside the hive, and collecting nectar and pollen from flowers for food. They also communicate with each other through complex dances and pheromones to coordinate foraging and other activities.

That red is not a color that the insects in question see is a reason why bees do not pollinate red gumamela flowers. The non-woody plant in question (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) may sport orange, red or rose-white flowers. The bright colors and the long tubes tend to be perfect for hummingbirds, whose priority color is red.

well , bee's do think because they need to familiarise themselves with there surrounding's

and to remember where their colony's are.

so studies show they do!

no they dont

ps : How great would that bee if the background picture was not a wasp ?

The study of bees is called "apiculture" or "apiology". It involves researching the behavior, ecology, genetics, and management of bees, particularly honey bees. Apiculture also includes the practice of beekeeping for honey production and pollination services.

yes they do have hair, although it is thinner than other bees they do have small hairs which they use to catch vibrations near by.

Nectar, nectar products, pollen and pollen products are the foods that bees eat when honey is taken. Honey is the combination of bee enzymes and floral nectars. The insects in question mix nectar, pollen and water into bee bread while royal jelly for queen bees results from pollen interacting with chemicals from worker bee glands.

It depends what type of bee. For example, the German, or Black Bee, is quite aggressive in nature (an interesting aside is that Hitler is reputed to have tried to exterminate them as an 'inferior race'!). African breeds are also said to be bad-tempered.

Other types of bees, such as Ligurian or Italian, and Carniolan bees are generally placid, but any bee, when threatened enough, will go on the defensive.

Bees adapt to their environment by building hives that provide protection from the elements and predators, foraging for food sources that are available in their habitat, and communicating with other bees through intricate dance patterns to locate resources efficiently. They also have a unique ability to regulate the temperature inside the hive to ensure the well-being of the colony.

Bumble bees can live in between Summer and Spring unless they are killed in between then. They are smarter than most animals. as soon as they sting they die. short;y after mating the male dies. after the femalez give birth they die. t da the right answer

Yes, bumble bees do urinate. They eliminate waste through a small opening near the end of their bodies called a "cloaca." Urination helps bumble bees regulate their body temperature and maintain their internal balance.
