The main lifestyle and characteristics of bees include: oligophagous, gregarious and social. Below, the editor will introduce you to the specific features.

1. Oligophagy

< p>1. The life of bees is inseparable from flowers, especially pollen and nectar, in which the honey sacs absorb nectar and mix secretion converting enzymes.

2. The honey juice is brewed through repeated cycles. At the same time, constant blowing is required until the water evaporates, which can speed up the conversion and concentration.

2. Sociality

1. Bees live in groups, but the swarms do not collude with each other. They have the ability to guard the hive, and their self-defense organ is a sting.

2. Foreign bees can be identified based on their smell. There will also be bees guarding the door. If someone enters the nest and steals honey, the guard bees will fight immediately.

3. Outside the hive, different bee colonies do not interfere with each other. If the queen bee flies out to mate, she will be surrounded by worker bees and assassinated.

4. When the drone enters the outer group, the worker bees will not attack it, mainly for reproductive needs.

3. Sociality

1. Queen bee

(1) The life span of the queen bee is 3-5 years. She is mainly responsible for breeding offspring and managing the bee colony. The queen bee The reproductive capacity is strong, but some eggs cannot withstand fertilization.

(2) The queen bee will lay fertilized eggs according to the situation of the bee colony, and the worker bees will feed pollen. After 21 days, the bees can directly develop into worker bees without reproductive capacity.

(3) The unfertilized eggs laid can develop into drones after about 24 days.

2. Drone bees

(1) Drone bees develop from unfertilized eggs in about 24 days. They are larger than worker bees and are covered with hair.

(2) After emerging from the nest, it takes 12 days to reach sexual maturity. After mating with the virgin queen bee, the drone will die immediately.

3. Worker bees

< p>(1) Worker bees are female bees without the ability to reproduce. Some worker bees deceive the queen bee through reproduction in order to extend their lives.

(2) It cannot eat royal jelly at any time. It can only eat royal jelly in the first few days of the larval stage. It mainly eats ordinary honey, which leads to poor reproductive development and becomes a worker bee.

(3) Depending on age, worker bees can be divided into nurse bees, nesting bees, and forager bees.

(4) The life span is about 5-8 weeks or 6-7 months.

4. Grouping

(1) When there is too much reproduction, it is necessary to divide the group. The fertilized eggs of the queen bee are mainly in the royal platform.

(2) The worker bees will take special care of the newly hatched larvae and feed them with royal jelly, which is highly nutritious in the body. After 16 days, they will develop into adults and become new queen bees.

(3) The old queen bee will lead some worker bees to fly to other places to build a bee colony.
