Honey Bees

Honey bees are environmentally friendly to human especially the honey.I watched a film about bees last night,and I find the bees are funny.So I found more funny facts about the honey bees.The facts are funny and let me know more about them.

There are three kinds of bees,the Queen bee,Drone Bees and workers.I think the important role in bees is "Queen bees".The queen bee is the only sexually developed female in the hive.It mates in flight with approximately 18 drones. She only mates once in her lifetime.And I can't believe that a queen can lay 3,000 eggs in a day and 200,000 eggs in a year.

The second role is "Drone Bees".The male honey bees are called drones, and they do no work at all, have no stinger, all they do is mating.

"Worker bees"also very important.The workers are sexually undeveloped females.Worker honey bees live for about four weeks in the spring or summer but up to six weeks during the winter.The brain of a worker honey bee is about a cubic millimeter but has the densest neuropile tissue of any animal.

Honey is sweet,but bees are hard.So we must protect the friendly bees, also protect our envrionment.
