Classification:
A bee is an insect in the hymenoptera and apidea family. Hymenoptera is a greek word for “membrane wings” and that’s just what a bee has - 2 pairs of see through wings. Apidea is the one of the insect families that has bees.
Description:
A bee has a very hairy body, 2 pairs of wings, 2 compound eyes, 3 simple eyes, a head, a thorax (the middle body), and an abdomen (at the end). A bee has pollen baskets on its hind legs and a stinger on the abdomen. As bees go to each flower, they collect pollen grains on the hairs on their bodies. The 2 pairs of wings that beat their wings 230 times per second. 2 compound eyes and 3 simple eyes send messages to the bee brain. The head well you know what the head is for. The thorax holds 6 legs on it and the two pairs of wings. The abdomen contains digestive organs, reproductive organs, wax and scent glands. In the pollen basket, a little bit of nectar and pollen are mixed together keeps it together and the hairs in the pollen basket hold it in place.
Location:
A bee can live in beehives in every country. India has the most bees with almost 12 million bee hives (wow that is a lot!). They travel from country to country. Bees were first in Africa and spread across the world excluding cold places. We use langstroth beehives in New Zealand and are bee friendly and made of timber. Langstroth observed that bees leave a gap of about 7-9 millimeters between honey combs. Langstroth designed frames with the same space separating the frames from each other and from parts of the hive.
Dynamics:
If we annoy bees accidentally, they will sting us and the sting will inject poison into us. The bees will die after they sting. Drones are male and do not sting or leave the hive They only mate with the queen. Worker bees are female and they leave the hive to collect nectar and pollinate plants then take the nectar to the hive and make honey in honeycombs. If humans want to eat honey the we do not take all of it only a little bit.
