マークして下Most people know that bees live in hives and make honey, but not much else about them. However, the more
we learn about these insects, the more interesting they become. The process by which bees make honey, for example,
is fascinating. Bees known as worker bees leave the hive and gather nectar, a sweet liquid, from flowers. They thenreturn with the nectar to the hive. There, they transfer the nectar from their tongues to the tongues of other worker
bees. In the process, the nectar becomes honey.
The honey that bees make is stored in the hive. In winter, when nectar from flowers isn’t easily available, bees
rely on these honey stores for their food.
In addition to nectar and honey, bees consume a special food called royal jelly. In the case of worker bees, it isconsumed only during the first few days of life. The queen bee, however, continues a diet of royal jelly for her entire
existence, which can be up to five years, compared to six weeks for worker bees. As a result of this diet, the queen grows
to approximately twice the size of the average worker bee.
Typically, there is only one queen per hive. However, under certain circumstances, there can be multiple
queens. This may happen when the original queen does not produce an adequate number of eggs, or when the numberof bees grows too large for the hive. In the latter case, the original queen leaves the hive, taking some of the bees withher, and starts a new hive. The new queen stays in the hive with the remainder of the bees.
The life of a bee may not be an easy one, but it certainly has purpose, as everything a bee does ensures thesurvival of its community.
