Bee fact #8

Fun fact, there are different phases in which honeybees develop glands. These glands determine what jobs honeybees have. When honeybees first hatch the females are quick to get to work. The first jobs they'll have is cleaning the cells. Then they move into caring for the larvae. The next phase is performing repairs to the hive. In this phase they develop little wax glands. The last job they'll have is foraging.

Bee fact #5

Fun fact, save the bees is quite the popular statement! But the statement save the bees isn't in reference to Honey bees. Due to the amount they're kept. They're fine. The bees we do have to save are native bees and wild bees. Who are the ones that need to be saved and are at risk. This is because the amount of honeybees are kept. The honeybees take more resources not leaving enough behind for wild/native bees.

Bee fact #4

Fun face, bumble bee queens are single mothers when they first make their hives. They have to carry their eggs and regulate their temperature so the eggs don't die. They have to do all this while gathering supplies to make their hives!

Fun fact, wayyy back in the day (Like medieval times) beekeepers used trees! So they would either hollow trees out and hope for bees or they would fine trees with bees already in them. They use cut a hole in the tree near the top and would also put a door in the tree. The door would be closed when the weather was bad :)
