Honey bees are considered as the only insects make available food (Honey) to the human beings. Honey bees represent only a small fraction of about 20,000 known bee species, but its life cycle is most interesting.
Honey bees are intelligent, hard- working, and social insects. They live in colonies consists of a single queen, a few hundred drones(male bees) and workers(female bees).
.One queen, the largest bee in the colony, runs whole hive. The workers, the smallest, are to forage for food, build, clean, and protect the hive. Duty of drones are to mate with the new queen.
Honey bees help other plants grow. They fly at a speed of around 25 km/hour beating their wings 200 times per second. They have 170 odorant receptors with which they communicate within the hive and recognize different types of flowers.
Workers life span is 5 to 6 weeks, and during that period they produce about 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey. Life span of queen is up to 5 years, she can lay up to 2500 eggs a day. The brilliant bees share information about the food source by performing waggle dance.
To make one pound of honey they must gather nectar from about 2 million flowers, and to fly about 90,000 miles- three times around the globe. Visit 50 to 100 flowers during a collection trip. Even though, the size of bees brain is as small as sesame seed, it has a remarkable capacity to learn and remember things, able to do complex calculations. Bees have 2 compound eyes made up of thousands of tiny lenses. A colony consists of about 20,000 to 60,000 bees.Each colony has a unique odor to enable to quick identification. the workers produce honey comb.
The honey produced by the bees is high nutritious, and tasty food.
