Bees

What Beehives Are Made Out Of 

The nest'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 pollen) and to house the brood (eggs, larvae, and pupae).

How Bees Make Honey

Foraging worker bees fly from their hive (sometimes miles away) to gather nectar from flowers and other blooming vegetation.

Worker bees head back to their hive and pass the nectar to house bees.

The nectar is chewed up and deposited into honeycomb

then bees cap the honeycomb with beeswax.

Royal Jelly

Royal jelly is harvested by stimulating colonies with movable frame hives to produce queen bees. Royal jelly is collected from each individual queen cell (honeycomb) when the queen larvae are about four days old. ... Sometimes honey or beeswax is added to the royal jelly, which is thought to aid its preservation.

Honey

Bees make honey for fuel food. That is, it gives them energy for their tasks. They also collect pollen and process it to be their protein food. They collect nectar, convert it to honey and store it. But only one kind makes honey: the honeybee. This bee species lives in large families, or colonies, and can be found all over the world. Female “worker” bees produce honey from pollen and nectar that they collect from plants on their fuzzy bodies while pollinating

bees

There are three types of honey bees within a hive: the queen, the workers, and the drones. A queen bee is the only female bee in the hive that gets to reproduce. Worker bees are all female, and are all offspring of the queen. But there are males in the hive called drones.There are three types of honey bees within a hive: the queen, the workers, and the drones.

A young larva (newly hatched baby insect) is fed special food called "royal jelly" by the worker bees. Royal jelly is richer than the food given to worker larvae, and is necessary for the larva to develop into a fertile queen bee.

If all bees die

If all of the world's bees died off, there would be major rippling effects throughout ecosystems. ... Other plants may utilize a variety of pollinators, but many are most successfully pollinated by bees. Without bees, they would set fewer seeds and would have lower reproductive success. This too would alter ecosystems. No more honey
