Bees are in trouble

21rcoomb — 2025-01-14 10:19:07 UTC

They’re in trouble because of habitat loss, pesticides, low diversity of food , invasive species and pollution WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? It means that if we don’t do something bees will die out and without bees pollinating we won’t be able to live

How can we help

Bees use dance

Bees use dance to communicate with the hive because they can’t speak for example a bee will do a certain dance to say it’s less then 3km to the food source or if it is more then 3km

Fun fact

21rcoomb — 2025-01-14 10:33:36 UTC

Bees are winged insects closely related to wasps and ants, they produce honey as food stores for the hive during winter And these efficient little workers produce 2-3 time more honey than they need

The queen

21rcoomb — 2025-01-17 09:07:02 UTC

The queen can live up to five years. She is busiest in the summer months, when she can lay up to 2,500 eggs a day!

the queen bee dies, workers will create a new queen by selecting a young larva They feed it a special food called royal jelly This enables the larva to develop into a fertile queen.

Honey bees are fab flyers. They fly at a speed of around 25km per hour and beat their wings 200 times per second!
