response: I don't actually know. What I do know is that the honeybee nests are made from wax.
original_response: My granfather finds that sage helps them to remain calm. As long as no new bees are introduced, a honey bee colony is usually incredibly peaceful.
history: I love bees but I am allergic to them. Oh, how interesting. Did you know that honeybees belong to the genus Apis? Yes I know they play a very important role in our ecosystem. Some people keep bees in man-made hives. It's called apiculture, or beekeeping. Wow that seems like an interesting job! It also sounds kind of dangerous. I wouldn't know. I know they live in beehives, which is also where the young are raised. Do beekeepers still use smoke to sedate the bees?
knowledge: A honey bee (or honeybee) is any member of the genus Apis, primarily distinguished by the production and storage of honey and the construction of perennial, colonial nests from wax.
