Bees are so Remarkable

Between 20 000 and 60 000 alive bees in a hive. The queen bee can lay 1 500 eggs per day and live up to 2 years. The drones, whose only mission is to mate with the queen bee, has a shelf life of about 24 days - has no sting. Work bees - all women sterile - the normal work the same death within 40 days this summer, collect nectar and pollen. Worker bees fly up to 14 kilometers (9 miles), pollen and nectar, fly to 24 Km / h (15 MPH).

The pollen is the highest bid in proteins and vitamins for bees, 10 amino acids needed. The nectar is up 80% sugar, but less than 0.2% protein, is the nectar of carbohydrates in the cell. The nectar of bees in the cell by cell, then the evaporation of water from the nectar of the wing by a quick move. If the quantity of water is less than 18% considered the mixture and honey bees, cap cells. Thus, 80% honey, sugar and 20% water. A mixture of honey and pollen regarded as "the bread of bees" and are food for bees and larvae.

A worker bee communicate its results in a floral dance in the cell. The orientation of their movements and frequency of vibration to show them the direction and distance of flowers.
