  2. Honeybeesand Honey What are beehives? Tell me about beehives. Honeybees live in hives. The female worker bees, male drone bees and queen bees live in the hive. This is where they take care of their infants, protect the queen bee and store honey. It can hold more than half a million bees. What is pollination? Pollination occurs when bees carry pollen from one flower to another. This helps many plants produce seeds and complete their reproductive cycle.

  3. Honeybees How do bees develop? Click on larvae link. Tell me about workers, drones and queen bee development. Honeybees start off as eggs about the size of a comma. After 3 days the egg hatches into larva. Three bees emerge—workers, drones and queens. Workers—Female bees. For six days the larva eats jelly prepared by the worker bees. Next the larva becomes an inactive pupa for 14 days. Then on the 20th day a female worker bee arrives. Drones-- Male bees or drones do not emerge from the pupa until the 24th day. How do honeybees make honey? What does the beehive do?

  4. Honeybees Queen bees—They are raised as other bees; except they eat “royal jelly” a special substance that contains more sugar than what the other larvae eat. This makes queen bees larger. They spend 14 days as a pupae and emerge on the 16th day of life. The queen immediately destroys any rival queens; there can only be one. How do honeybees make honey? Bees carry nectar from flowers back to the hive. The nectar is carried in their stomachs, where there is a special enzyme to convert nectar to honey. The bees return to the hive, and deposit the mixture they were carrying into the honeycomb cells.

  5. Honeybees Then the worker bees remove the excess water and eventually the substance transforms into honey.
