Every social insect performs a special duty. Most nests have only one queen who lays all the eggs. Male bees or drones fertilize the queen and die. Worker bees are non-breeding females. They nurse young, feed the queen, guard the hive and collect food.
Bees always share food.
Food is regurgitated then eaten by a sequence of bees until reaching the queen. Workers collect nectar and pollen from many different flowers. Bees dance to tell others where to find food. The richer the food source, the faster the dance. Place artificial flowers in weighted coffee cans.
