Life Cycle of Honey Bees

Image
Life Cycle Stages Honey bees undergo complete metamorphosis, which involves four developmental stages: Egg Larva Pupa Adult Reproduction Virgin queens fly to a location where she may encounter hundreds of male honey beeswaiting for her to arrive so they can inseminate her. Each female will likely mate with several males and each male is able to mate from 7 to 10 times. After mating, the males die. The mated queen lives on and uses the male sperm to fertilize the eggs she produces, a process that continues to occur throughout her life. When she dies or discontinues to produce eggs, a new generation of queens will mate and produce their own colonies. Each colony will only have one fertile queen. Eggs Honey bee queens control the sex of their offspring. As eggs pass through the queen’s ovary into the oviduct, she can determine whether a particular egg is fertilized or not. The development of each member of a colony diffe...

Roles of Bees in a Hive

Image
H oneybees are a highly fascinating, remarkably organized society. A bee colony is known as a super-organism as no single bee can survive on its own. There is division of labor and every bee must carry out their own duties and co-operate with one another for survival. Find out the roles and responsibilities of bees in a hive ! Queen Bee The queen is the only fertile female in the colony. It is the only member that is able to lay fertilized eggs. The queen bee continually emits pheromones (a bee perfume) that only the bees in the hive can smell. These pheromones keep the female workers sterile and also act as a signal to assure all the bees in the colony that the queen is alive and all is well in the hive. The queen mates early in life, stores up millions of sperm within her body, and fertilizes her eggs as and when needed. She is capable of producing up to 2,000 eggs within a single day. To produce drones, she lays unfertilized eggs. A queen bee lives for 3- 5 years. How...

Bee Hive

A  beehive  is an enclosed structure man-made in which some honey bee species of the  subgenus   Apis  live and raise their young.  Though the word beehive is commonly used to describe the nest of any bee colony, scientific and professional literature distinguishes  nest  from  hive .  Nest  is used to discuss colonies which house themselves in natural or artificial cavities or are hanging and exposed.  Hive  is used to describe an artificial, man-made structure to house a honey bee nest. Several species of  Apis  live in colonies, but for honey production the  western honey bee  ( Apis mellifera ) and the  eastern honey bee  ( Apis cerana ) are the main species kept in hives. The beehive's internal structure is a densely packed group of  hexagonal prismatic  cells made of  beeswax , called a  honeycomb . The bees use the cells to store food ( honey  and...
