Hello everyone now i am draft a new blog.
This blog is about the bird honey bee.
The bee clade includes the eusocial honey bee (sometimes spelt honeybee), all of which are indigenous to mainland Afro-Eurasia.[1][2] Several subspecies of honey bees were introduced by humans into South America (early 16th century), North America (early 17th century), and Australia (early 19th century) after bees naturally migrated over Africa and Eurasia.[1]
Honey bees are renowned for building long-lasting colony nests out of wax, for the size of their colonies, and for the abundance of honey they produce and store. These traits make honey bee hives a coveted foraging target for many species, including honey badgers, bears, and human hunter-gatherers. Although previously 7 to 11 species have been recognised, there are only eight recognised species of honey bees that are still alive today, with a total of 43 subspecies. Only a small portion of the 20,000 or so species of bees that are recognised as being alive today are honey bees.
The western honey bee (Apis mellifera), which was domesticated for honey production and crop pollination, is the most well-known type of honey bee. The eastern honey bee (Apis cerana), which is found in South, Southeast, and East Asia, is the only other domesticated bee. Only individuals belonging to the genus Apis are considered authentic honey bees, however other species of bees, such as the Indian stingless or dammar bee Tetragonula iridipennis and stingless bees from the genus Melipona, also make and store honey. Beeswax is also used by contemporary people to create candles, soap, lip balms, and other cosmetics, as a lubricant, and in the lost wax mold-making process.
LIFE CYCLE OF HONEY BEES :
The worker bees create and shape the wax honeycomb, where the eggs are placed singly in individual cells. The queen can choose to fertilise the egg she is laying with her spermatheca, often depending on which cell she is placing it into. Females (queens and worker bees) develop from fertilised eggs and are diploid, whereas drones (which are formed from unfertilized eggs) are haploid. Royal jelly generated by worker bees serves as the larvae's primary food source. Honey and pollen are then added subsequently. The one exception is a larva that only consumes royal jelly and grows into a queen bee. Before spinning a cocoon inside the cell and pupating, the larva goes through multiple moults..
