Description
Bee enjoying the beautiful flowers of the gardens at Banneker Park near Ellicott City, Maryland.
Honeybee hives have long provided humans with honey and beeswax. Such commercial uses have spawned a large beekeeping industry, though many species still occur in the wild. All honeybees are social and cooperative insects. A hive's inhabitants are generally divided into three types - workers, drones, and queens.
Workers are the only bees that most people ever see - these bees are females. Workers forage for food (pollen and nectar from flowers), build and protect the hive, clean, circulate air by beating their wings, and perform many other societal functions.
Bees live on stored honey and pollen all winter, and cluster into a ball to conserve warmth. Young bees are fed from the stores during this season and, by spring, the hive is swarming with a new generation of bees.
