1. Why do black bees appear in bee colonies?Are there any photos of this black bee? It may be the appearance of a drone, which is black in color, stout, with large compound eyes and no stinger. It is a sign that the bee colony will swarm after it grows stronger. The appearance of black bees in a bee colony indicates that the bees want to change to a new queen. Black bees are drones that specialize in mating with the new queen. 2. The whole process of honey cultivation includes the Chinese honey bee and the black bee. What kind of bee is it?The black one among bees is the big black bee. The black bee is actually a type of bumble bee. The black bee is about 0.9 cm wide. The black bee has a lot of black hair on its chest and legs. The worker bee is 17-18mm long and black in color. There is a distinct silver-white velvet band at the base of the 2nd to 5th abdominal segments. The chest, scutellum and first abdominal segment are covered with yellow-brown hair. The forewings are smoky brown. They often live under cliffs at an altitude of 1,000-3,500m. They have the habit of migrating with the seasons, moving to low-altitude warm areas in winter and to high-mountain cool areas in summer. In short, black bees, as their name suggests, are completely black in color without any impurities. Additional information: 1. The black bee is a large and black species in the genus Bee, and it is the largest species (picture). Because the main production area is under the snow-capped mountains around the Himalayas and it lives on rocks, it is also commonly known as the Himalayan bee, snow mountain bee and rock bee. 2. The black bee is relatively large. The worker bee is 17 to 20 mm long, black, slender, with a tuft of white hair between the antennae; the cheeks and skull are densely covered with yellow hair; the mesothorax, chest side, first segment dorsal edge of the abdomen and the base edge of the second segment dorsal edge are dense and short, dark brown; the feet are covered with brown-yellow hair, the ventral hair of the mid-foot base tarsus is the densest, the abdomen is dark brown, the base of the 1st to 5th segments dorsal is covered with extremely dense white hair bands, and the sixth segment dorsal is covered with black hair. 3. The abdomen is all dark brown; the forewings are light brown. The average beak length is 6.6mm, the forewing length is 13.3mm, and the elbow vein index is 15.8. 4. It is poisonous, but not very poisonous. It is less toxic than ordinary bees. Black bees are drones, an indispensable part of the bee colony. They are responsible for mating with the queen bee, assisting in guarding the nest and collecting honey. Because they have no stingers and are not poisonous, many domestic chickens like to peck at the drones in the beehive, and some children also steal them to eat.

The black bees in a beehive are male bees, also known as drones, and the rest are worker bees except for the queen bee. Worker bees, as the name suggests, are working bees, responsible for various tasks in the hive, such as collecting honey, collecting pollen, feeding, brewing, hygiene, etc. The drones consume food and mate with the new queen bee. After mating, their lives come to an end. Drones that do not mate will be driven out of the beehive in autumn. Because the beehive has completed the work of changing the queen, the drones are no longer useful to the beehive and will only consume bee food! ! 4. Are black bees male or female?Haha, the black bees among bees are drones, which is what you call male bees, but the title of the book should be called drones. Drones only appear during the swarming period, and there are no drones at other times! The worker bees are responsible for collecting, and most of the bees in the bee colony are worker bees, while the queen bee is the only one in the bee colony, which is what you call the queen bee! ! |
