       Oval shaped

       Black with yellow stripes

       6 legs

       Have wings and antenna

       Genus: Bombus

       Eat the pollen and nectar from flowers. Often nest in the ground but can be seen above ground in attics or roof pillars.If they are disturbed they will buzz in a loud volume and aggressively chase invaders.Carpenter bees are usually one inch in size.

      Oval Shaped

      Blue or Black

      6 legs

      Has wings and antenna

      Genus: Xylocopa

      Eat pollen and nectar from flower. Lay eggs in holes they make in soft wood. They protect their larvae. Holes made by female carpenter bees can be up to 10 feet long. They don’t pose health threat but can do real damage to wood. They also pollinate plants that are ignored by bumble bees.

Honey bees

    Half an inch in size

    Oval shaped

    Golden yellow with brown bands 

    6 legs 

    Has wings and antenna

    Genus: Apis 

     They use pollen to make honey which they store in their honey combs to feed young in colder times.Nests vary in size and they usually make them in tree crevices but will also do so in attics.They can only sting once but is extremely painful if stinger is not removed immediately.

    Killer bees are ½ inch in size and look a lot like honey bees.

   Oval shaped

    Golden yellow with darker brown bands

    6 legs

   Have wings and antenna   Genus:Apis

   Collect pollen from flowers and feed to colony.Small colonies and, live in boxes old cars or tires. Their venom is no more dangerous than honey be

e venom but they tend to attack in greater numbers. If chased by killer bees don’t jump in the water they will wait until you come up for air.

The head has eyes, antenna and mandibles

The Thorax is the holder of the legs and wings

The abdomen has the stinger wax glands and reproductive organs

Antenna they are powerful at sensing smell, taste and ,touch

Compound eyes bees have compound and simple eyes. The compound eyes are like sunglasses which allow bees to see in polarized light

Simple eyes these are the three smaller eyes that are a single lense. They can see UV rays.

Proboscis The proboscis is the tongue of the bee and can be extended.

Mandibles queen and drone bees have jagged mandibles that help cut and slice while worker bee mandibles are smooth to help disperse wax easily.

The brain for its size is very complex and the glands in its head create wax used to feed the queen.

Wings these wings of a honey bee can carry them at 15 miles per hour.

Legs front legs help clean antenna while hind legs help collect pollen.

The reproductive organs are stripped from a bee after mating

Wax glands there are 4 of these glands that produce liquid wax that hardens when exposed to air.

Larvae  All larvae are fed royal jelly for the first 3 days of their life. For worker and drones this diet is stopped but for Queens they continue that diet to stop them from getting worker and drone characterisics.

Pupa  The form of the bee starts forming and eyes legs wings and hairs start to form.

Adult   the adult will chew its way out of the cell and the worker bees will clean and prepare it for the next egg.

Queens are a larvae for up to 5 ½ days 

Workers are larvaes for up to 6 days

Drones are larvae for up to 6 ½ days

Queens are pupas for ut to 8 days 

Workers are pupas for up to 12 days

Drones are pupas for up to 16 ½ days

Since drones don’t help forage for food during the early fall drones are sent to die by the workers

But not all bees can sting humans. The Queen bee stinger is not barbed. Stingless honey bees bite and spit poison spit into the wound. The poison of one type of bee is made up of different chemicals than another type. Except honey bees other bees can sting more than once as their stingers aren’t barbed and slide out easily.

Sting symptoms can range from swelling, sharp burning pain, red lump that may enlarge, dizziness, hives, and nausea or vomiting.

We need to make sure that the population of the bees are kept at a safe level to protect the world from lack of pollenation.
