Fascinating Facts about Bees
Crucial
Pollinators:
Bees are vital for pollinating 90% of the world’s crops and wild plants. Their work supports biodiversity and food production worldwide.
Did You Know?
Bees carry pollen on their bodies while returning to their nesting site.
Superb
Navigators:
Bees have 5 EYES and can see ultraviolet light, which helps them locate flowers that might be invisible to the human eye.
Colony
Hierarchy:
In a typical bee colony, the queen is the only reproductive female, while worker bees (females) perform tasks like foraging, caring for the young, and defending the hive.
Bees communicate with each other through a dance called the ‘waggle dance,‘ which helps them share the location of flowers.
Bumblebees and Honeybees have a hierarchy consisting of a queen, drones, and workers.
The queen lays eggs, workers forage and maintain the nest, while drones mate with new queens.
In contrast, solitary bees live independently, without colonies or caste divisions. Each female builds her own nest, lays eggs, and provides food for her offspring. These bees emerge in cycles, often timed with the blooming of specific crops, making them highly efficient pollinators.
Unlike social bees, solitary bees do not produce honey but play a crucial role in biodiversity and food production by pollinating fruits, vegetables, and wild plants.
