My report about honey bees

My report about honey bees Honey bees represent only a small fraction of the roughly 20,000 known species of bees. Some other types of related bees produce and store honey and have been kept by humans for that purpose, including the stingless honey bees but only members of the genus Apis are true honey bees. How bees make honey First they get the the nectar from the flowers. Then they take the nectar back to the hive to and convert it into honey. How long the queen honey bee can stay alive A honey bee queen could live for 3 to 4 years as long as she is free from disease. This is much longer than bumblebee queens or the solitary bee species. How many legs does a honey bee have The honey bee also has three pairs of segmented legs (six legs) which are attached to the thorax; they have pollen baskets on their hind legs. Honey bees have two sets of wings (four wings) that are attached to the thorax; the four wings are much larger than the hind wings. Honey bees habitat Habitat of a Honey Bee. Researchers believe that the original habitats of the honey bee are tropical climates and heavily forest areas. Honey bees can thrive in natural or domesticated environments, though they prefer to live in gardens, woodlands, orchards, meadows and other areas where flowering plants are abundant. What honey bees eat Honey bees collect nectar and convert it to honey. The majority of honey bee larvae eat honey, but larvae that are chosen to become future queens will be fed with royal jelly. Royal jelly is a white secretion produced by young, female worker bees. It is comprised of pollen and chemicals from the glands of worker bees.
