Bees and Beekeeping
Beekeeping is the science of managing honey bees and promoting healthy hive conditions. Honey production involves extracting honey from honey comb and packaging the honey for human use.

Where do bees keep their stingers?
A bee's sting is at the tip of its abdomen. Incidentally, only female bees have stings.
Do bees like flowers that's on clothing?
They may be curious enough to investigate if the flowers are sufficiently life-like, but will lose interest as soon as they realise they are not real flowers.
Will bees come back next year?
This is a silly question.
If you have a hive of bees then they don't fly south for the winter.
they make honey to live on during winter time >>. they stay at home.
No, they are invertebraes. All arthropods, bees included, have an external skeleton.
No bees are brown on there legs and hands and they are clear on there wings
If my mom is allergic to bees and my dad isn't am I allergic?
If you are that worried about it and dont know you should think about consulting a doctor. It is likely that you are not allergic though.
their size,getting squshed by us,people. they only sting once
Do bees make jam or just honey?
just honey, jam is just fruits thoroughly mashed. Bees produce honey. People make jellies and jams.
In the sense that white light is light of all colours mixed, then yes.
However, a bee's colour vision is not the same as ours. They can see well into the ultraviolet part of the spectrum which is invisible to us, and they are not as sensitive as us to the red end of the spectrum.
When a bee sees a flower, because of their ultraviolet sensitivity they can see patterns in the petals that we can't, usually lines leading down to the nectar source.
Bees can also see plane polarized light, which we can't without the help of polarizing filters. They use this to determine the position of the sun even when the sky is overcast with cloud. They use the sun's position for navigating.
However, a few known species of bee cannot see the color white but most species do, in fact, see white. The type of bees that cannot see the color white are a social scavenger type honeybee which can primarily be found in the southeast of North America. These specific types of bee see the color white as a somewhat translucent or crystalline shade of ultraviolet B, a "color" in the ultraviolet spectrum, with a wavelength of approximately 315--280 nanometers. In conclusion these bees see what humans portray as white as very close to invisible.
What do you get from a beehive?
Apart from the obvious answer of honey, the beekeeper will also collect beeswax and some collect pollen and propolis (a resinous substance the bees collect from tree buds and tree sap flows).
Honey bee workers live for about 6 weeks in summer and 6 months in winter. Drones live for about 4 months and a queen could live for about 5 years but beekeepers usually replace them after 3 years.
A bee's body is in three parts, head, thorax and abdomen. The legs and wings are attached to the thorax.
Additional Answer:
That is a very functional body structure, considering that we humans also have much the same body plan. The only exceptions may be that we have an internal skeleton and our lower appendages are attached below our abdominal area.
It's not as much Honey as Pollen that attracts bee, if there is honey around and bees are far from ther ehive they may rest in the hive that has honey in it or if the is honey bees may make a hive near by because honey means pollen.
No, bees are not blind. They have relatively simple eyes that can detect light, shapes, and colors. Bees can see ultraviolet light, which is important for finding nectar in flowers.
Are bees warm blooded or cold blooded?
Bees, like all insects are considered to be cold blooded. But this only means they do not maintain their bodies at a fixed temperature. Their bodies are far from cold. Under normal circumstances a bee's body temperature is anywhere between 25oC and 38oC, even in the middle of winter.
They use exothermic means to control their body temperature. This means that they control their temperature via external means by taking advantage of the environment around them. This would include things like sunning on rocks to warm up, or shading themselves to cool down.
Bees excrete waste through their digestive system and eliminate it as feces. They do not have a separate system to pee like mammals do. Instead, waste is eliminated in the form of solid feces.
No, all queen bees are female, as are all worker bees. The male bees are called drones.
