CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Do bees return to their hive before they die?

1. Do bees return to their hive before they die?

They won't return to their nests and usually die outside. I hope my answer is helpful to you. Please click "good review" to cheer me up~!! Thank you

2. What are the characteristics of a bee’s nest?

Most of the cells on the honeycomb are regular hexagons.

Each wall is a wall of the 6 adjacent cells. The cell bottom is composed of 3 rhombuses with a 120° cone angle, and each of the 3 rhombuses is a bottom surface of the 3 cells on the other side of the honeycomb. Bees use this geometric shape to build cells, which are neat, beautiful, strong, and consume the least materials.

The volume of the nest is the largest. According to calculations, a nest built with 1 kg of beeswax can hold 40 kg of honey. A honeycomb filled with honey on both sides weighs about 2.5 kg.

3. What harm do nest insects, which are enemies of bees, do?

The wax, nectar and pollen on the honeycomb will be eaten by it. It can spin silk to make cocoons on it and make tunnels, which will harm the pupae of bees and cause many pupae to die. In addition, a large number of pupae caps on the capped honeycomb will be gnawed open by worker bees, resulting in dead pupae with white heads exposed, which are called "white-headed pupae". Chinese bees have poor resistance to nestworms, so the disease is more serious. Pay attention to it when raising them.

4. How do bees maintain a stable temperature in their hive?

Bees mainly rely on consuming honey to maintain a stable temperature in the hive. Generally, an organism can generate 17.5 kilojoules of heat for every gram of sugar consumed. In addition to adult bees, capped pupae can also generate a considerable amount of heat through metabolism. Of the total heat generated by the bee colony, the heat generated by capped pupae accounts for 15% to 17%.

5. What are beehives made of?

There are irregular transitional cells between the drone cells and worker cells, and at the junction of the honeycomb and the nest frame, which are used to store honey and reinforce the honeycomb.
