What skills do bees have?

1, brewing bee bread, animals in nature rarely process food by themselves.

2. Build a beehive. Bees are top architects, and their hives are in the shape of double-sided hexagons, which is the least and strongest structure in the use of space and raw materials. Only bees can build them in nature.

3, pheromone experts, honey can accurately find the honey source and water source within Fiona Fang 10 km through smell, touch and ultraviolet rays.

4. Pollination, bees account for more than 85% of pollinated insects.

5, divided into royal jelly, the decenoic acid in royal jelly is only found in natural royal jelly.

6. Controlling the fertility sex, the queen bee can control her own boys and girls.

Extended data:

I. Geographical distribution

The geographical distribution of bees depends on the distribution of nectar plants. "They are distributed all over the world, and there are many tropical and subtropical species. The distribution of different subfamilies or genera has certain limitations For example, bumblebees are mainly distributed in the north temperate zone and can be extended to the Arctic, but there is no record of distribution in the tropics. Trichogramma subgenus of Trichogramma is only distributed in Central Asia, while Acari is distributed in tropical areas.

Second, living habits.

From spring to late autumn, bees are busy every day during flowering. Winter is the only short leisure time for bees. But the cold weather and the low temperature in the hive are not good for bees, because bees are warm animals, and their body temperature will change with the temperature of the surrounding environment. The clever little bee came up with a special way to resist the cold.

When the temperature in the hive is as low as 65438 03℃, they are close to each other in the hive and form spherical clusters. The lower the temperature, the closer the colony is, which reduces the surface area and increases the density of bee colony to prevent excessive cooling. According to the measurement, in the coldest time, the temperature in the bee ball can still be maintained at around 24℃. At the same time, they also use more honey and exercise to generate heat to raise the temperature in the hive.
