Function of beehive

Worker bees feed larvae in hives and store honey and pollen.

The honeycomb forms an angle of about 9 ~ 14 degrees to prevent honey from flowing out. Honeycomb is the place where bees live and multiply, and it is composed of nests and spleen. Beehives are amazing natural buildings. The nest is hexagonal. The nest is covered with naturally mature honey, and the reddish-brown is pollen.

The chemical composition of honeycomb is very complex, mainly containing beeswax, resin, oil, pigment, tannin, sugar, organic acids, fatty acids, glycosides, enzymes, insect hormones and so on.

Extended data

There are many kinds of bees, and the shapes of honeycombs are also strange. Judging from its shape, it can be roughly divided into three categories:

1, honey page style; Bees are generally domesticated. Their nests are built in artificial beehives (wooden boxes) and hung on the top of the hives in a large form. Beekeepers call them honey pages and pick them and process them into honey or other honey products, such as royal jelly.

2. Shower-like: small groups of bees generally build their nests in lower parts such as eaves, window sills and stone ridges, and their nests range from 3-5 to dozens; A large group of bees build nests on branches, with a diameter of about 50cm and hundreds of hives, which are shaped like hanging lotus. Some people describe this kind of hive as' the house is upside down, the hidden bees accumulate poison, and autumn is the hive'.

3. crypt type: some bees nest in the soil and generally see a single-celled structure. There are crypt hives built by bees, which are relatively rare and cannot describe their specific forms.
