They make all the bee babies, which is roughly about 1000 in their lifetime. On the other hand, worker bees pollinate the flowers and get honey for the colony. Queen bees stay inside and make babies while worker bees go outside and pollinate. Although Queen bees may seem lazy, they are important. If the Queen bee dies then so does the colony. The colony wouldn't bee able to repopulate and they would die off. That is why she is called the Queen. She is the not only female, but she is the one who populates the hive. When it comes to making the hive the feminine workers build the hexagons they put their honey into with wax that they produce out of their abdomens. The hexagons create are identical and fit what the bees need. They are large enough to hold enough honey, and do not require too much wax to build them. Since we are talking about what the worker bee does for the hive. Along with building with their abdomen wax they care for the queen and larvae, they clean up the hive, they protect the hive from enemies, they actually regulate the temperature for the hive, they make honey, and gather pollen. Talk about a lot of work, which I guess suits the name. If we are talking about social class, then the Queen is at the top while workers are at the bottom. In conclusion both Queen and worker bees have WAY different jobs]]> 2017-11-07 16:51:29 UTC https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/204455817 1012919 https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/206229587 2017-11-13 14:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/206229587 1012919 https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207798375 The honeycomb are hexagons that are filled with honey. The hexagons are literally perfect for the honeycomb. The hexagon can hold enough honey while not needing too much wax to make the hexagon. The honey comb is made out of wax that the worker bees produce out of their abdomens.]]> 2017-11-16 17:37:32 UTC https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207798375 1012919 https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207924476 This is what honeycomb looks like.]]> 2017-11-16 22:06:18 UTC https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207924476 1012919 https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207924706 Beeswax is often used in the sentence "none of your beeswax." But do you really know what Beeswax is? Beeswax is a natural wax that bees produce out of their abdomens. Now that you know that, take a guess at what a bee hive is made of. The hive is made out of beeswax. A LOT of beeswax. Worker bees built the hive with their beeswax. That must have taken a lot of time and a lot of effort taking in consideration of the size of a bee.]]> 2017-11-16 22:07:17 UTC https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207924706 1012919 https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207960230 Bees swarm when a beehive has reached max capacity. Worker bees start to produce a special cell called a queen cells. The queen bee and queen bee larvae fed a substance called royal jelly. This is produced by the workers. They make royal jelly when the bees decide their queen is unfit to rule or is very sick and dying. Royal jelly is given to the next queen bee larvae. She will become the next queen bee. The swarm happens after this though. There will be too many bees in the hive so a bunch of bees along with the old queen will leave the hive and search for a new hive in need of bees. The bees will travel together until they find a new colony and hive. When they are searching, that is the swarm. While they are moving people often find them clustered together agents and on objects.]]> 2017-11-17 02:09:32 UTC https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207960230 1012919 https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207962615 Bees are actually pretty hated. Their population is decreasing and predators may be part of it. Some predators the bees die to are: Skunks, bears, raccoons and even mice can be predators to bees. Some of those kill the bees for their honey not for their food though. Although tiny, mites are a huge danger too bees. They attach to bees and spread Diseases through out the bee hive. The sickness spreads causing major bee casualties. Thats not all though. There are some animals that destroy bees from the inside out. Some use humans as an advantage. One example of destroying bees from the inside are beetles, wax worms, spiders, and hornets. They lay their eggs in the bees nest then their babies hatch and eat and kill all the bees. Birds usually kill bees by catching them then smashing the poison out of their stingers. One specific type of bird called the Honeyguide. It will lead humans to bee hives, and when the humans get rid of the bees the honeyguide eats the honeycomb happily. One type of hornet called the Asian Hornet is a bee killer. It will absolutely wipe out bees. Only a few Asian hornets can destroy a whole bee hive. There is one way for a bee to kill the hornets, but it results in massive casualties. The bees must swarm the hornet and overheat it. It will die with a lot of bees. One more enemy of bees are us. We kill so many bees using pesticides and chemicals. We need to stop. If we don't stop, our future might end up close to the one in stung.]]> 2017-11-17 02:25:40 UTC https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207962615 1012919 https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207963682 Click image for better view]]> 2017-11-17 02:34:09 UTC https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207963682 1012919 https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207966459 2017-11-17 02:54:54 UTC https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207966459 1012919 https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207971969 Stung basically is book about a world without bees. Life without bees is totally messed up. Think about it, without bees, we will die as well. This book is a warning of what will happen if we don't change our actions. I don't mean literally, but we might end up in a similar scenario. We are killing off bees, and they people in the book DID kill off bees. In the book I noticed that the government is kind of like bee society. The wall being the safe barrier from the outside world. The governor is in control like the queen bee, while people in the wall are like drones. Lastly, the ones who are outside the wall are the worker bees because they are lower class and do a lot of work. ]]> 2017-11-17 03:36:04 UTC https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207971969 1012919 https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207973276 2017-11-17 03:46:15 UTC https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207973276 1012919 https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207973448 2017-11-17 03:47:51 UTC https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207973448 1012919 https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207974561 2017-11-17 03:57:53 UTC https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207974561 1012919 https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207976207 2017-11-17 04:15:40 UTC https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/207976207 1012919 https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/208066629 2017-11-17 12:29:32 UTC https://padlet.com/1012919/ppu231uxfuzw/wish/208066629
