Honey bees collect nectar and convert it in to honey. Honey bees eat over ripe fruit, and they eat honey. Bees are mostly vegetarian! The majority of honey bee larvae eat honey, but larvae that are chosen to become future queens will be fed with royal jelly. Royal jelly is made by female workers. Nectar is the sweet water produced by and collected on plants like flowers, while pollen is a protein-rich powder. They are also predators.


What are some interesting facts about bees?
Queens begin laying their eggs in the center of the cell frame, so workers can place honey, royal jelly and other foods. Bumblebees are considered to be beneficial insects because they pollinate crops and plants. They are very social bees and live in large "families".
Honey bees live in hives (or colonies). The members of the hive are divided into three types:
Queen: One queen runs the whole hive. Her job is to lay the eggs.
Workers: these are all female and they make and protect the hive.
Workers are the only bees most people ever see flying around outside the hive.Workers are the only bees most people ever see flying around outside the hive.
Drones: These are the male bees, and their purpose is to mate with the new queen.But come winter, when the hive goes into survival mode, the drones are kicked out!
If the queen bee dies, workers will create a new queen by selecting a young larva (the newly hatched baby insects) and feeding it a special food called “royal jelly“.
They fly at a speed of around 25km per hour and beat their wings 200 times per second!
