Question

where is the surplus honey stored in the bee colony?
A) in front of brood best
B) under the offspring or brood nest
C) in the brood nest
D) above the brood nest.

Answer 1

The surplus Honey is stored above the broad nest in the Bee Colony due to the following reasons:

- If too much or excess amount of honey is produced by the worker bees then they are forced to store it in the broad box.

- These surplus nectar, pollen and honeydew allows honey bees to overcome dearth periods, when foraging is not possible.

- The bee workers and drone queen together known as brood nest.

- The brood nest is three dimensional box made of several frames.

Answer 2

The surplus honey in the bee colony is stored D) above the brood nest.

• The queen bee starts to lay eggs in the center of the nest and use other cells to store pollen or honey.
• Other cells for worker, drone or queen cells, collectively known as the brood nest, will be formed, where the surplus honey is stored above the nest.
• The brood nest can be called a three-dimensional structure, distributed in the box through several frames.
