Two-part allegorical saying about bees
Bees sting people-forcing urgency
Bee's eyes-protruding
Bees' nests are full of holes.
The bee's ass has a prickly head
A bee without a king-a swarm of chaotic bees.
Bees come out of their nests-flying all over the sky
Bees in spring-restless
Bees make honey-working for others
Bees sting the flowers in the mirror-in vain
Bees fly to colorful paintings-empty joy
Ants' legs, bees' mouths-restless; Busy all day
Bees sting on the glass window-see the light; There is no way out; going and coming
Information about bees
Bees refer to all flying social insects in the family Apidae, which feed on pollen and nectar and brew honey. There are three kinds of bees in the bee colony: queen bee, worker bee and drone. There is a queen bee (there are two queens in some special cases), 1, 000 to 1, 500 worker bees, 500 to 1, 500 drones. Bees originated in Asia and Europe and were brought to America by British and Spanish. In order to get food, bees keep working, collecting honey during the day, making honey at night and pollinating fruit trees, which is an important medium for crop pollination.
Bees feed entirely on flowers, including pollen and nectar, which are sometimes made into honey for storage. There is no doubt that bees are pollinating it as well as collecting pollen. When bees collect pollen between flowers, they will drop some pollen on the flowers. These fallen pollen are very important because it often causes cross-pollination of plants. The actual value of bees as pollinators is greater than the value of making honey and beeswax.
Drones usually have a short life span, do not collect pollen and are not responsible for feeding young bees. Worker bees are responsible for all the work of nesting and storing food, and usually have special structures to carry pollen.
Most bees collect pollen from many kinds of flowers. However, some bees only collect pollen from flowers of certain families, some bees only collect pollen from flowers of certain colors, and some bees only collect pollen from flowers that are related to each other. Bee's mouth is a tool for collecting and carrying pollen, which seems to be able to adapt to different kinds of flowers.
Bees make sounds because they have vocal organs, which are located in two small black spots on the abdomen of bees.
In the bee society, they still live a matriarchal clan life. Bees undergo four metamorphosis processes: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Among the members of their huge family, there is a queen bee, which is a fertile female bee, responsible for laying eggs and reproducing, and at the same time "ruling" this huge family.
Females and drones live in the same nest, but there are differences in morphology, physiology and division of labor. Female individuals are large and good at spawning and reproduction; Males are smaller than females, specialize in mating and die after mating; Worker bees are small female bees with genital hypoplasia. They specialize in nesting, collecting food, feeding larvae, cleaning the nest room and adjusting the humidity of the nest.
Bees feed on plant pollen and nectar. Eating habits can be divided into three categories:
(1) polyphagia, that is, eating pollen and nectar, wishful bees and Chinese bees on plants of different families or flowers of a certain color (not limited to plant species).
(2) Oligophagia, that is, feeding on flowers of related families and genera, such as alfalfa wasps. (3) Monophagy, that is, feeding only from certain plants or related species, such as cornflower bees. The flowers interviewed by various bees are closely related to the length of mouthparts: for example, species with short mouthparts such as Labiatae, Aphidae and Aphidae interview the open flowers of Rosaceae, Cruciferae, Umbelliferae and Ranunculaceae; However, due to the long mouthparts, sawflies, honeybees and other species use deep flower tubes to interview flowers, such as Leguminosae and Labiatae.
Bees fly at a speed of 20-40km/h and a height of 1 km, and their effective range is within 2.5km from their nests. Collecting nectar is a very hard work. Only by interviewing 1 100- 1446 flowers can bees get 1 nectar. 1 bees collect 10 times a day during their honey flow, and the average amount of honey they carry each time is half of their weight, which can only provide 0 for human beings in their lifetime. 6 grams of honey. Nectar is sucked into the honey sac by bees and mixed with invertase, the secretion of mandibular gland, and the transformation of sucrose begins. After repeated brewing of honey juice, continuous fan blowing, the water is evaporated, and the conversion and concentration are accelerated until the honey is completely mature.
The main natural enemy of bees is wasps. Nectar can be converted into honey in the digestive tract. All female bees have a kind of sting.
A bee needs 33,333 working hours to brew and spit out one kilogram of honey and suck 3,333 stamens.
In order to brew 500 grams of honey, worker bees need to fly back and forth 37,000 times to find and collect nectar and bring it back to the hive.
Bees' wings can flap 200 to 400 times per second.
The maximum speed of bees flying is 40 kilometers per hour. When it comes home with a full load, it flies at a speed of 20 to 24 kilometers per hour.
A hive has an average of 50,000 hives and 35,000 busy bees. A bee's furry body can stick to 50,000 to 750,000 grains of pollen. A spoonful of honey can provide enough energy for bees to fly around the earth. The life span of worker bees is 38 days in summer and 6 months in winter. The life span of a queen bee is usually four to five years.
With 5 compound eyes and 3 monocular eyes, the viewing angle of bees can almost reach 360 degrees.
