Worker bees will often stand at the hive entrance or on the combs and fan with their wings to circulate air through the hive. This circulating air will help the evaporation of water from the nectar, concentrating it into honey.

Where do bees keep the honey?

In hexagonal cells within the colony.


How many diploid cells does a honey bee have?

Honey bee queens and workers are diploid and have 16 pairs of chromosomes; drones are usually haploid, with only 16 chromosomes. It is possible for a small number of diploid drones to exist, but only the haploid drones can sire the next generation.


How did killer bees get here?

Africanized honey bees (also known as killer bees) were brought to Brazil in the 1950s as an experiment to improve honey production. Some of the bees eventually escaped and interbred with local honey bees, leading to the establishment of Africanized honey bees in the Americas.


How do you remove the honey from the honeycomb?

There are various ways. The most usual way is to slice off the wax capping from the cells, place the frames (the comb is in a wooden frame) into a device not too unlike a spin drier and the frames are spun. The honey is thrown out of the cells by centrifugal force on to the sides of the container and drains down to the bottom. This method has the advantage that the comb is unharmed and can be returned to the bees for re-use.If you don't have a honey spinner, you could simply crush the comb to release the honey and sieve it to remove the wax, or you could gently melt the wax from the honey using no more heat than absolutely necessary and they will naturally separate. The disadvantage of these methods for a beekeeper is that the comb is destroyed in the process.Another way is to uncap the cells and suspend the frame, upside down, over a bowl and wait for the honey to drain out. This is a slow process, however. The frame has to be upside down because the bees don't make cells horizontal in the comb as they build it, but slope them upwards from the centre, like a shallow 'V'.


Which Part Of A bees body does the Honey Come Out Of?

Honey does not come out of a bee's body. Bees collect nectar from flowers and take it back to the hive where it is spread in cells in the honeycomb. The combination of warmth and air flow in the hive evaporates water from the nectar, and the result is honey.

What cause the buzzing sound of a honey be?

When an insect flies, the size of its wings and the speed of their flapping affect the sound they make.


Can honey prevent the growth of molds?

Yes it can, provided it is not diluted in any. Honey's anti-fungal properties depend on the concentration of sugars being so high that mould spores can't develop. Honey actually contains some natural yeast cells, and if you add water to honey it will probably start to ferment.


How would osmosis affect the growth of bacteria in an open jar of honey?

the osmosis effect on honey makes it unsuitable for bacteria so it would not be able to survive in the honey. therefore, the honey probably would not be effected very much by the honey and would not spoil as quickly like meat or dairy would be

What is the main purpose of a honey comb?

The honey bee makes comb out of wax which will allow the queen to lay eggs in the comb cells. Some cells are used to store honey and others to store pollen.


Why is honey denser than honey?

Honey and honey are surprisingly the same thing, they are equally dense.


What is a cell where honey is stored?

A cell where honey is stored is called a honeycomb cell. Bees store honey in these wax cells within their hives. Honeycomb cells are hexagonal in shape and are perfectly designed to store and protect the honey.


Where do bees save their honey?

In hexagonal cells in their hive.

What is the Dutch 'Honingbij' in English?

"Honey bee" is an English equivalent of "Honingbij" (Apis mellifera).The population of the honey bee hive keeps busy year round. Responsibilities outside the hive largely center on the collection of nectar and pollen. Responsibilities within the hive are varied.In the way of indoor activities, warehouse cells are built for storing pollen and honey. Nursery cells are built for the queen bee's eggs to hatch and for the resulting larvae to feed and grow into adults. The entire hive must be kept clean and airy. In fact, among the important bee activities are flapping wings to ensure good air circulation.
