Honeybees
Posted by Admin on June 4th, 2010 filed in UncategorizedAs the bees buzz around flowers and vegetables in home gardens, one’s mind turns to the miraculous creation of these tiny workers. Time to wander away from cares about such things as acne treatments and focus on the lowly honeybee for a moment or two.
Honeybees live in colonies and make honey. During the winter months, they snuggle together to keep warm. There is one queen in each colony, who lays all the eggs. Drones mate with the queen. Female workers make the honey.
Only honeybees die when they use their stingers. All other bee varieties will go on to sting another day. This is due to a barbed stinger that pulls away from the bees abdomen when it stings, causing the bee to die.
