Bees and Beekeeping

Yes, to produce honey - there is no other source of honey.

Honey farmers or Apiarists .

Bees are particularly attracted to floral scents, especially those from flowers that produce nectar. They are drawn to sweet, fruity, and spicy aromas, which signal the presence of food sources. Some specific flowers, like lavender, jasmine, and clover, release scents that are especially appealing to bees. Overall, their preference for certain smells helps them locate and pollinate plants effectively.

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.

Yes, the colony collapse disorder is still a very bad problem. The CCD is trying to enhance the bees health.

Bees actually beat their wings rapidly, not slowly. Most bees can beat their wings at a rate of around 200 to 300 times per second. This rapid wing movement allows them to generate lift and maneuver effectively while flying. Additionally, the quick wing beats are essential for producing the buzzing sound associated with bees.

A male bee is called a drone.

Bees primarily collect nectar during the daytime when flowers are open and their nectar is accessible. The peak activity for nectar collection typically occurs in the warmer months, from spring to early fall, when many plants are in bloom. Bees are most active during sunny weather, as this enhances their foraging efficiency. Additionally, different flower species have varying peak times for nectar availability, often influenced by factors like temperature and season.

It is called Mutualism, which is itself a type of Symbiosis.

Beekeepers are people who raise bees. They are scientist who are generally studying bees' behavior. Some people keep bees to get honey, as well.

If you say the bees are a time the scout takes to make the workers how far away the food is. If you say a flying insect that can make honey . Bees made a buzzing noise among the flowers

Not particularly

A location where bees are kept is called an apiary or "bee yard".

The masculine term for a bee is "drone." Drones are the male bees in a hive, primarily responsible for mating with the queen. Unlike worker bees, drones do not collect nectar or pollen and do not have a stinger. Their main role is to ensure the continuation of the hive's genetic line.

Bee stings can bleed a tiny bit, but the main reaction is swelling and discomfort. Try not to scratch or pester the sting because that could lead to infection and quite a bit of bleeding.

Honey bees. Apis Mellifera in the Western Hemisphere and Apis Ceranae in the East.

Bees pollinate the flowers.

Making the money from the honey is the best part...

Yes bee stings hurt pretty bad. I was stung when i was 8 years old. You first feel a tingling sensation wherever the sting is then it starts to throb. It could last one-two days.

No, bees are not carnivorous and do not eat meat. They only eat nectar, honey and sugary water.

There is a species of predatory wasp that will occasionally try to eat dead animals called Yellow Jacket Wasps.

Wasps are not bees.

Bees that build their shelters from mud only use a small amount. The number of bees it would take to eat mud depends on how much mud is available. The mud is used for the outside of the wasp nest. A small wasp nest only uses one or two tablespoons of mud. Larger nests, such as hornets may use three or four pounds.

It is the only insect that produces food for humans.

The feet

The orange sacks on the legs of honey bees are called pollen baskets or corbiculae. These specialized structures are used to collect and transport pollen back to the hive, which is a crucial food source for the colony. When bees visit flowers, they gather pollen and pack it into these sacs, facilitating efficient foraging and contributing to pollination.
