CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to remove a beehive at home

1. How to remove a beehive at home

First, use insecticide, then close the doors and windows for an hour, clean up and ventilate. After taking protective measures, open the windows and shoo the bees out, and drive the remaining bees away again or swat them with a fly swatter. Take protective measures, find a thick bag to put the beehive in, tie the bag tightly, and bury it in the soil.

1. When a bee flies into your home, don't rush to move it. Check why the bee came into the house. Is it because there are too many flowers in the house, or some sweets in the house are not stored properly and attract the bees? Find out the reason and clean it up quickly.

2. If there are children at home, the presence of bees is definitely a big threat to them, so move the children somewhere else, close the doors and windows for an hour after using the insecticide, then clean up and ventilate the room.

3. If you don’t have the heart to use pesticides, then open the window and shoo the bees out to see if they can be driven away. Then drive away the remaining bees again or simply hit them with a fly swatter.

4. Take protective measures, then find a thicker and larger plastic bag to put the beehive in, tie the bag tightly, and then bury it directly in the soil.

2. What is the name of a bee's nest?

The nest of bees is called a beehive

3. How do bees build honeycombs?

Beehive, (fengchao), is the English word for Comb. It is the place where bees live and reproduce, and is composed of honeycombs. Each honeycomb is suspended parallel to each other in the space inside the beehive and is perpendicular to the ground. The distance between honeycombs is 7 to 10 mm, which is called a bee path. Each honeycomb is composed of thousands of cells connected together, and is built by worker bees using the beeswax secreted by their own wax glands. The large and small hexagonal cells are used to cultivate drones and worker bees respectively, and the bottom surface is 3 rhombuses. The cells used to cultivate queen bees are called queen cells, which are shaped like drooping peanuts. They are temporarily built by the bee colony before swarming, mostly at the bottom and corners of the honeycomb. There are irregular transitional cells between the drone cells and the worker cells, and at the connection between the honeycomb and the nest frame, which are used to store honey and reinforce the honeycomb.

This time, I would like to introduce the amazing way bees build their nests. In the "bee classroom" and other activities held by our company, when asked "What shape is the bee's nest?", the children all answered loudly in unison, "It is a hexagon." When asked again, "Why is it a hexagon?", the children all tilted their heads, and some children answered interestingly, "Because bees have six legs." Some people think that bees actually want to build a cylindrical nest. No one knows what bees are thinking, but it is undoubtedly to use the least amount of materials to create the most spacious space. It can be seen that if the bee's nest is round or octagonal, there will be gaps, and if it is triangular or quadrilateral, the area will be reduced, so the hexagonal shape is the most efficient among these shapes.

This structure formed by arranging hexagons is called a honeycomb structure. Because this structure is very strong, it is used in the wings of airplanes and the walls of artificial satellites. The cells (called honeycombs) inside and outside the honeycomb are staggered by half, and the point where the sides of the combined hexagons intersect is the center of the inner hexagon. This is to increase the strength and prevent the bottom of the honeycomb from cracking. In addition, as can be seen from the cross-section, the honeycombs on both sides are facing upward.

The honeycomb is a strict hexagonal column. It has a hexagonal opening at one end and a closed hexagonal pyramid base at the other end, which is composed of three identical rhombuses. In the early 18th century, French scholar Malarch once measured the size of a large number of honeycombs. What surprised him was that all the obtuse angles of the rhombuses that formed the chassis of these honeycombs were 109°28′, and all the acute angles were 70°32′. Later, French mathematician König and Scottish mathematician Marc Lorraine calculated theoretically that if the least amount of material is to be consumed, the largest rhombus container can be made at this angle. In this sense, bees can be called "genius mathematicians and designers."

Worker bees feed their larvae in the cells and store honey and pollen. The honeycomb is formed at an angle of about 9 to 14 degrees to prevent the honey from flowing out. The ecology of bees and the structure of the honeycomb are really amazing, and can be said to be the work of nature. It can be seen that, apart from the still unknown world of bees, just looking at the honeycomb, it can be seen that human intelligence is far inferior to theirs in terms of natural creativity. Bees, as insects with excellent sociality, have survived and reproduced since the past, which is older than human history, and have brought us many benefits such as honey, royal jelly, propolis, pollen and beeswax. At the beginning of the new century, when making the nest frame, the creativity and wonder of bees made us think deeply.

The honeycomb of bees is an amazing natural building. The honeycomb is a hexagonal chamber. The sealed honey in the honeycomb is naturally ripe honey, and the reddish brown is pollen.
