How do honey bees do - first need honeycombs

The cells are the bees houses, where they keep the perma, honey, they grow offspring.

Honeycombs are hexagonal proper bee wax cells.

Honeycombs are of different purposes:

  • for the uterus (in one hive one), she laying eggs;
  • for larvae, that is, the offspring;
  • drone (for males);
  • bee (their bees are filled with honey).

The size of the cell in diameter is about 5 mm, the weight of empty cells up to 150 g.

So that the bees began to build their "houses", a person helps them in this, lowering the frame with the fear in the hive.

What is the framework? On a wire frame from wax, as if future cells are programmed, and the bees then continue to build them. At each cell at the bee takes up to 13 mg of wax, and for drone cells - up to 30 mg.

The bee wax is produced as soon as she starts to fly out on flowers.

How and from what make honey bee?

  • Honey generation begins from nectar and pollen colors. Nectar for 80% consists of water. During the processing of nectar in honey, water evaporates and it turns out thick syrup.
  • Field bees and young, and old are flying behind the nectar. They suck the nectar with a special goiter, the blood vessels and special glands are located inside it, which split the glucose nectar.
  • To get honey, which we used to eat, the collection of nectar at the bee leaves a little time, much more needs to handle nectar enzymes, transfer honey to honeycomb, and sealing it.
  • Processing nectar enzymes - a long process. It occurs in the stomach of a bee.
  • Stomachs in a bee two: for their own food and to collect nectar. Placed in the stomach to 70 mg, weighs a little more than the bee itself. To fill it, the little bee to collect nectar from flowers in 1500.
  • To obtain 1 kg of honey bees need to make 40000-150000 flights for nectar.
  • The collected nectar of the bee tolerates into a cell where it costs a few days, and then they are engaged in young hive bees.
  • In addition to honey, the bees collect and no less important perma (pollen), and also fold it in cells, only honeycombs with Perga are brighter than with honey.
  • Honey is needed not only to people, honey - food for bees in winter.


So, we learned what hardworking bees provide honey and ourselves, and people.
