Worker Bees

+drones
Queen Bee
- They are the only bees that lay worker bee eggs.
- A queen will lay up to 2,000 eggs per day!
- We are careful to keep our queens happy!
- She "tells" the other bees how to organize the hive.
- If she doesn't like her hive, she will organize a swarm.

Pollination
Honey bees are important pollinators
Honey bees forage for nectar and polllen.During this process, they transfer pollen between male and female plants, which allows flowers, fruits, and vegetables to grow.
+game
Propolis
Propolis helps protect the hive from germs
-Propolis is used to seal the hive. -If a hive is sick, honey bees will produce more propolis because it is antimicrobial, meaning it will prevent the spread of infection and diseases.
Take a look!
Any worker can be a queen
If a hive doesn't like their queen or the queen has told them to swarm, they will start feeding a worker egg queen jelly and nurse bees will build a queen cell. When we see a queen cell, we know a new queen is on her way! A: Queen Cup B. Queen Cell
Drones
Drones are the only male honey bees. They don't have stingers, and they don't pollinate. They are kicked out of the hive before winter.
Let's play a game!
Pollinator Relays! Teams of 3 Like a honey bee, transfer your "pollen" (cotton ball) to the cup without dropping it! The first three to get all of their pollen into the cup wins!
