Over 4,00 species reside in the U.S and 250 in Great Britain.  There are 10 types of honey bees and one hybrid, the Africanized honey bee

Honey bees are the only social insect whose colonies can last for years, due to the fact that they huddle and eat honey during winter months. They can pollinate more than 100 types of crops in the U.S.A. They are only capable of stinging once due to the fact that the stinger is barbed.

Compound and simple. The compound eyes are the large ones that you notice when observing a honey bee. Each individual compound eye is made of many smaller eye (ommatidia) units. Each eye unit in the large eye sends an image to the bee’s brain where it is pieced into a larger picture. Bees also have three simple eyes. These eyes basically help the bee figure out where to land by using UV vision to find where the pollen is.

Relative to the honey bee, the tongue is actually fairly long. The reason for its length is that it makes it easier for collecting nectar. It’s also used for cleaning their hairs and the queen.  The length of the proboscis averages about 6.5mm.

The queen’s and the drones mandibles are pointed to aid in cutting while a worker’s is smooth for the protection of wax.

The most notable parts of the thorax are the 6 legs and 2 wings that sprout out of it. The rapid contractions of the muscles in the thorax are to thank for the bee’s quicksilver movements in the air.

If not, the egg will hold a male bee (drone). If fertilized, the egg will either be a worker or a queen since they are both female.

After those first 3 days the diet is ended for both workers and drones. This is only to make sure that the workers tend to the next queen’s every need. Workers use wax to cap the cells before the larvae transition to pupa.

The reason for this is that honey bees have barbed stingers, which is great for stinging predatory insects, but not so great for stinging mammals. When the bee stings, the barbs usually get stuck in the skin, and when the bee pulls away its guts also get pulled out. Some species of bee such as the bumble bee and carpenter bee can sting more than once because their stingers are smooth.]]> 2017-11-16 05:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/10074001/qirt69mk3gd1/wish/207525672 10074001 https://padlet.com/10074001/qirt69mk3gd1/wish/207527061 2017-11-16 05:43:00 UTC https://padlet.com/10074001/qirt69mk3gd1/wish/207527061 10074001 https://padlet.com/10074001/qirt69mk3gd1/wish/207527665 2017-11-16 05:49:37 UTC https://padlet.com/10074001/qirt69mk3gd1/wish/207527665 10074001 https://padlet.com/10074001/qirt69mk3gd1/wish/208086053 In the book "Stung" one of the issues is that bees go extinct, because of this plants are dead and everything is a barren wasteland. If this were to happen in real life, it would most likely only occur to a few species of bee, but many of the crops we depend on would die. Fatigue would probably occur in poorer countries.]]> 2017-11-17 13:29:24 UTC https://padlet.com/10074001/qirt69mk3gd1/wish/208086053 10074001 https://padlet.com/10074001/qirt69mk3gd1/wish/208087318 2017-11-17 13:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/10074001/qirt69mk3gd1/wish/208087318
