Biology of the bee family
Reproduction and development of bees
Growth and development of the bee family under favorable conditions of the environment (plenty of food, proper temperature, etc.) is provided by all three forms of individuals: the uterus, working bees and drones, but their
Influence of various conditions on the development of bee species
For normal development of bee species, the temperature in the hive is 34-35 њ. At a lower temperature, brood development slows down sometimes enough that 18 days are required for the exit of the uterus,
Dancing on a swarm looking for a new home
With the help of dances, bees can report information not only about sources of nectar and pollen, but also about other purposes of their flights, for example, about the location of puddles with suitable water

The bee family and its composition
Honey bees, like ants, bumblebees and wasps, refer to “socially” living insects. They live in large families and have a number of biological characteristics. Usually the family of bees consists of one uterus, several tens
Heavenly and earthly bee guides
Since bees are guided not only by the sun and the polarized light depending on it, coming from the sky, but also by terrestrial signposts, I would like to know which of these two means
The annual cycle of development and life of a bee family
The annual cycle of development and life of a bee family can be divided into the following periods: A) the period of spring development of the bee family, B) the period of reproduction of families
External structure of the bee’s body
Outer cover. Bees, like all insects, do not have an internal bone skeleton, which in vertebrate animals represents the basis and support of the whole body. Instead of the internal skeleton, bees have a hard
