Honeybee is a kind of social animal and social insect, which is mainly composed of queen bee, drones, worker bees, etc., so how do bees reproduce?

First, the basic introduction of bees

Honeybees belong to Insecta and Honeybee family, and the distribution areas of different species of honeybees are not exactly the same. For example, Chinese honeybees are mainly distributed in various areas of China, and Italian honeybees are mainly distributed in the Apennines Peninsula in the central Mediterranean Sea. Caniola honeybees are mainly distributed in the northeast of Apennin Peninsula in the central Mediterranean.

The honeybee colony is mainly composed of queen bee, drones, worker bees and other individuals.

1. Queen Bee

It is a full-time spawning bee species responsible for reproduction. Generally, the queen bee can lay 700 to 2000 eggs a day, and the number of eggs laid is determined by the honeybee species.

2. Drones

Developed from unfertilized eggs, the main responsibility is to mate with the queen bee to produce offspring.

3. Worker bees

It is mainly responsible for all other work in the colony, such as collecting honey, making honey, feeding larvae and queen bees, etc.

How do bees reproduce?

Honeybees are bred by virgin queen bees and drones by mating and laying eggs. The queen bee is free to choose to lay unfertilized eggs and fertilized eggs, in which unfertilized eggs can become drones, and fertilized eggs can develop into worker bees and queen bees.

Artificially farmed bees can put every two beehives side by side in spring and feed sugar water to each group in the windless evening. When the temperature in the box rises, the bees can shake and tighten the spleen, leaving only one excess spleen to be put forward, which can promote the queen bee to lay eggs quickly.

Bees can also communicate directly, and the information exchange of bees is mainly as follows:

The main results are as follows: 1. The release of trace chemical information substances is transmitted by air or individual contact.

2. Communicate through dancing (round dance and tail-swinging dance, etc.)

3. Using sound and light to transmit information.
