The bee is one of the types of insects that usually live in colonies or groups. On earth there are more than 20,000 species of bees that spread to all continents except Antarctica continent. Can physically described that bees have a number of three pairs of legs and two pairs of wings. Bees typically live above the trees, rooftops and in the farm. Food bees are flower nectar and pollen, from this food so that his name appeared honey. System bees communicate through smell, vibrations and physical interactions with other bees. Besides bees can also recognize and react to pheromones (chemical compounds released by bees), so that at night they can still communicate well with each other. How long do bees live? Before we examine issues that will be useful to study the life of bees first. Inside the hive there are: Queen bee Drone Worker Bees Worker bees are subdivided into: nurse bees, bees scout bees and collector In every hive, there will be only one queen bee among bee colonies, which accounted for 80.000 tails. Genetically, the queen is responsible for its characteristics contribute to the other bees in the hive there. Therefore, there are bees in the hive, it is definitely "was formed from the same basic elements" with the queen bee. Nurse bees are worker bees who specialized care for the queen bee and her children or larvae. They are responsible for producing royal jelly, and to feed the queen with royal jelly, bee pollen and honey. Search bees are worker bees who are looking for sources of pollen, nectar and propolis. When they find the best food source, they will return to the nest and to inform the bee collector. Then, the bee collector went to collect food. When collecting pollen from flowers, bees collecting only going to visit the same type of interest until all the pollen out collected. At the time the bees collect pollen, he also mix a little honey from her mouth and then form clumps that pollen will be stored in bags that are at the foot of a bee. Male bee is the only male bees in the hive there and only duty is to fertilize the queen bee. Sixteen days after the new queen bee is born, he flew to the male bees that have been awaiting his arrival. After fertilize the queen, drones are then dead. And what about the long life of bees? The secret is consumed by the royal jelly of bees. Queen bees eat royal jelly throughout her life while the worker bees eat only during the first three days in the larval phase. By eating royal jelly throughout her life made the queen bee able to live 40 times longer than worker bees, approximately four to six years.
