These worker bees are what you see traveling back and forth from the hive throughout the day. There are usually between 40,000 and 70,000 workers in a good sized colony. Drones are male bees and congregate in special flight areas looking for young queens with which they can mate. In the summer time they will number up to 1,500 or so, but come fall the workers will drag them out of the hive to die. Since they cannot sting, they are defenseless against attacks by birds, toads, or skunks which love to eat bees.
Bees communicate to each other by doing a dance.
They dance to show the other bees where the flowers are and if there is danger to the hive. Pooh is trying his hand as a bee dancer. I hope your visit with the bees was an informative one. Pooh sure learned alot of things. But he forgot the most important thing.
