Everyone is familiar with honey, knowing that it is a delicious ingredient with sweet taste and rich nutrition, and knowing that it is brewed by bees, so why do bees make honey? How do they make honey? I believe many people are interested in these questions, and today I will take you to find out the answers, so that you can know more about the honey-making behavior of bees.
How do bees make honey?
1. Bees are a kind of group animals. They have strict division of labor when making honey. Only worker bees are responsible for finding honey sources in the group. Moreover, after looking for honey sources, they will lead a large number of bees in the wind group to collect pollen and nectar. The body of bees has two stomachs. They will store the nectar in their stomachs, and then back into the hive will spit it into the hive.
2. Bees will not start making honey until the evening after collecting pollen and nectar during the day. When making honey, they will suck out the nectar stored in the hive during the day, reconcile it in their stomachs, and then spit it out. This is repeated many times. It is said that it takes more than 100 times of brewing to finally get cured honey.
Why do bees make honey?
1. Honey making by bees is a natural behavior. It is a concrete manifestation of the external environment, because honey making by bees is to store food for themselves through the winter. After entering the winter, flowers wither in nature, which is a shortage of honey sources. At this time, small bees have no nectar to collect and can only rely on their stored honey to spend the winter.
2. Honey making by bees is also an important manifestation of reproduction, because after collecting pollen and nectar, the worker bees in the bee colony should be eaten by the queen bees in the following colony, and the larvae in the bee colony should be eaten. Only when the amount of honey is sufficient can a wind colony operate normally to thrive, which is also an important reason why they brew honey.
The above is to introduce how bees brewed honey, but also to let everyone know the main reasons for bees brewing honey, so that we can have a more comprehensive and detailed understanding of bees this biological.
