Honey bees do not hibernate in the winter, but they are unable to fly out of the hive because it is too cold. They collect and store honey during the rest of the year so they have stocks of food to see them through the winter.
Luckily for us, they store more honey than they need, and this surplus is what the beekeeper will take.
Bees make honey in ALL countries.
Bees are busy because they collect the pollen to make honey. Also that they protect the queen and feed her. Also they nurse the bee larve.
No, only the female worker bees make honey. The female queen bee and the male drone bees do not make or gather food themselves. The queen spends her time laying eggs while the drones have only one purpose, to mate with a queen when she is on her one and only mating flight. The drones are only produced in the spring/summer and are killed off each year once their job is done.

They first find bees to help them and then they find a queen bee the queen lays the eggs to make the hives while some bees make the hive and some comfort the queen bee.
Bees Make Honey was created in 1971.
The clue is in the name cuckoo. And, as with the cuckoo bird, the cuckoo bee queen will invade a bees nest, kill the resident queen, and lay her eggs for the resident workers to look after them. So they don't have to make beeswax or honey themselves.

Within the hive, in cells. But it's only the queen that lays eggs, not the honey bees.
No, honey bees are insects that produce honey as a food source. Honey bees collect nectar from flowers and use it to make honey, which they store in their hives as a source of energy. Honey bees are not made out of honey.
