The bees and the wasps make a special kind of shelter. It is called the hive where
a colony of bees or wasps lives comfortably. A hive made by bees is called a
beehive and beehive that stores honey is called honeycomb
In a beehive, bees that live are of three kinds – queens, drones and workers.
Queen bees lay thousands of eggs and place one egg in each chamber of the hive.
Only one queen bee is allowed in a beehive at a time. Drones are the male and
they are used for mating. Worker bees are responsible for the welfare and
maintenance of the comb. They protect the eggs also, till they hatch into larvae
and larvae are fed till they grow into pupae. Pupae transform into adults. The
adults so developed may be queens, drones or workers.
Honeybees visit flowers regularly. It is very much pleasant seeing them sitting on
the flowers. They collect pollens and nectar from the flowers. Nectar collected by
honeybees is honey. Honey has medicinal quality and possesses antibiotic
substances.
