But, perhaps, the most amazing nests are arranged by a bee – a mason. She looks for an empty shell for each egg, brings her fodder dough to the depths for the larva and lays an egg on it. Fig.107. The nest of a bee is a mason in the empty shell of a snail. […]
A bee-sheet cutter! She makes a move, for example, in a rotten tree, then flies to the bushes of roses, lilacs, raspberries or other plants, cuts out an oval piece from the sheet and, rolling it into the tube, carries it into the canal that she made in the tree. Then she again flies out […]
Tell the growers about the importance of bees in the pollination of fruit-berry plants is not necessary, because everyone knows: the more they visit flowers, the higher the harvest. Honey bees perform about 80% of pollination in the gardens, and the remainder are wild single bees, bumblebees, other insects. In recent years, the number of […]
Biological science, creatively developed by scientists, teaches that the entire animal and plant world, all living nature consists of separate groups of animals and plants, called species. There are many similarities between close species, which indicates the relationship of their origin: some species originate from others. The primary cause of the emergence of new species […]
Some beekeepers do not consider them a separate breed, but refer to the intra-breed type, which was formed as a result of crossing in the natural environment of the Central Russian and Ukrainian gray bees with Caucasian and Italian yellow bees. Ancestors of this type were brought to the Far East in the XIX century. […]
Many will be surprised that the formation of a family in a bee family is by no means the rule, but rather an exception. We know many thousands of species of bees, who spend their entire lives alone. Some of them are very similar in appearance to honey bees, others are even larger and stronger […]

Science came to a firm conviction that in the course of the history of the Earth, highly organized animals developed from more low-order forms. Even in a short period of time equal to human life, this process of further species change can be observed to a small extent. If the modern animal world is something […]
Now let’s talk about bumblebees, insects, which completely completed the transition to a social lifestyle. Bumblebee State. Despite its awkward appearance, bumblebees along the external and internal structure have so much in common with bees that in zoology they are ranked among the same family. In their way of life, bumblebees closely adjoin the forms […]
The bees that live in Africa are relatively small compared to ours. There are so many honey and pollenots here that bee colonies are provided with food throughout the year and they do not need to make large reserves. At the same time, they feed a huge number of larvae, which create the prerequisites for […]
