Biography about bees

Bees - a miracle of nature from the history of beekeeping in ancient times people mined honey, ruining the hives of wild bees that built nests on branches, in hollows of trees. The very first information about beekeeping is papyrus scrolls that have come down to us from ancient Egypt. In Rus' in the 10th century, the ancestors moved to side beekeeping. Bord is an artificially made hollow.

Then people guessed to tame the bees. They began to build houses called hives. The town of hives is called the apiary. And the person who collects honey is a beekeeper. Home bees live in hives in large families, the bee family is called Roy. Bees can make wax honeycombs. In some cells they live, in others they put off food, and thirdly, pollen and nectar are future honey. From the life of bees, bees are very hardworking and friendly.

They communicate with each other with the help of special movements, the so -called dances and odorous substances - pheromones. The most important bee is called the uterus. She is the queen of the hive.

Only she lays eggs from which larvae appear, future bees. Drunk and working bees live in the hive. Working bees live days. The queen of bees can live years. If a new queen is born, then the old one leaves the hive. Working bees fly away with her. Bees insulate the hives with propolis, which is made of plant resin. Among the bees there are scouts, they are looking for pollen and nectar.

When they find suitable flowers, they return to the hive. There they perform a complex dance, which indicates the bees direction and distance to the honey plant. Boys-collectors bring pollen and nectar to the hive. The receiver bees accept pollen and nectar collected by field bees. Part of which is eaten and for feeding larvae, and part is the future honey. Bees-fragments distinguish other people's bees from their own and do not let them into the hive.

Why do bees make honey? Honey is the main food for bees in winter. Since there may be a bee order in the hive, it is obvious that in the summer they could not waste time at all. During all summer months, bees fly on flowers to collect nectar. Nectar and pollen gather in hexagonal cells - honeycombs. In order for the honey to thicken, the bees fill honey into the warmest corners of the hive, where moisture evaporates faster.

And they also wave their wings, for better evaporation. To prepare honey, the bees need to evaporate with 1 kg of honey 2 liters of water. The honeycombs filled with nectar, the bees are sealed with wax. When the honey has matured, the beekeepers take out the frames and pump out honey. In some cells, bees lay eggs, and honey serves with food larvae. In winter, sealed honeycombs are freed from the thin shell, and then honey is eaten by bees.

What happens to bees in winter? Stained honey is used by bees as fuel, consuming which they release the heat necessary to maintain normal temperature. What are the bees useful? They give people the right people products. The bees are collected in special “baskets” in their hind legs with special “baskets” flower pollen. Pollen is similar to small grains, and may differ in shape and color if it is collected from different colors.

This, truly, is one of the richest vitamins a product! Pollen is used to treat many diseases and for general strengthening the body. Prague Perga is a real “bread” for bees! Even the word "Perga" is translated from Old Slavonic as "bread". Small honey workers love to enjoy not only honey, but also a perga. And, they make it so ... A pollen brought from the fields and meadows, the bees are treated with the help of their salivary glands, then they are tightly laid in the honeycomb and poured with a small amount of honey.

After that, the honeycombs are sealed, and after three weeks, the peg is considered ready. In addition to bees, people also use it in medicine! Propolis Propolis is a substance similar to the resin that the bees process, collecting it from various plants. With its help, tiny "builders" repair the hive, covering the cracks in it. Who will like drafts in the house?!

And, even propolis is an excellent anti -bacterial agent, so they are treated with cells of honeycombs into which the uterus will lay eggs. He stands out in their abdomen. Wax is necessary for the construction of honeycombs. People have learned to use it for their purposes. Candles are made from wax, which then smell very tasty. It is even used in cosmetic creams, and in the production of lipsticks!

Wax sometimes cover cheeses. The uterine milk is the royal milk is produced by feed bees and serves to feed the bee larvae, and then the adult uterus of the queen of bees, first. This is a very valuable substance that is used by a person in cosmetology and medicine. Interesting facts about bees for collecting a hundred grams of honey are only a third of a glass of workers-pancers have to overcome a huge distance equal to the length of the equator.

One bee flies around about flowers per day, and works 12 hours a day. For her work shift, she manages to make 10 sorties. For the sake of one teaspoon of honey, a bee needs to collect nectar from a dozen thousand colors.The honeycomb built by bees always has the correct shapes and exact dimensions. Moreover, they chose an interesting shape for their honeycombs - a hexagon. The ancient Greek scientists who studied the honeycombs came to the conclusion that the bee cell is the most durable, and economical in consumption of material, vessel!
