honey It is obtained with the transformation of the nectar and represents the supply for the winter season.

wax Bees produce the wax to build the hive cells

Queen Bee At the top of the society, there is the queen bee. She is the only one and the biggest of all. She has the task to lay eggs in the cells for all its life, up to two thousand a day. She is the mother of all the bees in the family. She lives from four to five years.&nbsp;

The disappearance of bees endangers our food security, our future

Bee.. …..my future Our future also depends on them. &nbsp;More than 80 percent of the crops intended to feed humans rely on the work that these insects offer us for free. If the number of bees continues to decline, very soon we will no longer be able to enjoy foods such as berries, peaches, chestnuts, apples, almonds, but also courgettes, tomatoes and many other vegetables Unfortunately, every day, due to pollution many flowers die and consequently many bees. Even the waves of mobile phones and tablets disorient the bees who struggle to find their way home, often do not return there

LIFECYCLE The bee produces an egg for&nbsp;each cell ; the egg becomes&nbsp;a larva;&nbsp; then it becomes an adult insect.

From the tenth to the sixteenth day they take care of receiving the pollen and nectar brought by the foraging bees, storing it in the cells, transforming it into honey (warehouse bees).

As soon as the honey is ripe, they seal the cells with the wax (mason bees or architectal bees);

Ventilator Bee Ventilator Bees create a flow of air to regulate temperature and humidity inside the hive (about thirty-five degrees year-round). In this way, they help the maturation of the honey.

Drone bee Drones are the males of bees. &nbsp;Their task is to fertilize the queen bee. &nbsp;They are longer and stockier than the females. They haven’t got a stinger. They can’ t suck or collect nectar. They live fifty days at most, as long as they fertilize the queen bee. After joining the queen the drone falls to the ground and dies.

Each flower leaves a little of the pollen as a gift, which remains attached to its hairy body.

The work of the bee The bee with its tongue made like a tube sucks the nectar, which is in the heart of every flower.

The pollen will cause the fruit to be born from the flower

They also take care of the defense of the hive (guardian bees or sentinels).

Finally, from the third week of life, at the peak of their career, they become foragers with the task of collecting pollen, nectar, water and all that is needed by the family (foraging bees)

Let's talk about bees&nbsp;! The bee is an INSECT. It lives from 30 days to 5 years. In its body there is&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a HEAD, a THORAX and an ABDOMEN. On the head there are&nbsp;&nbsp;2 ANTENNAS, 2 big EYES and a mouth with a PROBOSCIS to lick and suck the flowers nectar; on the thorax there are&nbsp;&nbsp;2 pairs of WINGS and 6 LEGS; at the bottom of the abdomen there is a STINGER, that is a weapon of defence for itself and for the family. The whole body is wrapped in a kind of armor called Cuticle .

Up to four days of age they take care of the cleaning of the hive (sweeper bees)

From the fourth to the tenth day they feed the larvae with royal jelly, honey and nectar&nbsp;(nurse bees)

The bee house&nbsp; Their home is called beehive. The natural hive consists of several honeycombs. They are flattened and elongated, divided into hexagonal cells . There are&nbsp;many wax small cells. The bees&nbsp;produce the wax.

The worker bees The other bees become worker bees and perform various tasks: they build the cells, clean the cells, protect the hive, feed the larvae and produce honey. It takes 21 days to become adult insects. Workers change jobs many times during their life.

&nbsp;"The bees society"&nbsp; The bee is a social insect and therefore it lives in large colonies. The Bees of a colony are linked together by very deep ties and everyone is ready to give all its energies and even its life for the maintenance of the colony. Each one can accommodate from 20 to 60 thousand bees and everyone plays a specific and irreplaceable task. The life of a worker bee goes from 30 days to 6 months.&nbsp;
