Nature Of Bees and Their Benefits

Bees are winged insects closely related to wasps, known for their role in producing Honey & Pollination. They are Superfamily Apoidea and are presently considered a clade called Anthoplila.

Bees are found in every continent except Antarctica. The most common bees in the Northern Hemisphere are the sweat bees or Halictidae. They are small and often mistaken for wasps or flies.

The smallest species may be dwarf stingless bees in the tribe of bee Meli ponini whose workers are less than 1 millimetres ([0.08] in length) while the largest species of beer is thought to be Wallace’s giant bee Megachile whose females can attain a length of 39 millimetres (1.54) in length.

In haplodiploid species, females develop from fertilized eggs and males from unfertilized ones. Because a male is haploid (has only one copy of each gene), his daughter (which are deploid, with two copies of each gene] share 100% of their mother’s. Therefore 75% of their genes are shared with each other. This sex determination → gives rise to “Super-sisters”

COMMUNICATION


Honey bee workers can navigate indicating the range and direction of food to other workers with a waggle dance. Bees can recognize a desired direction in three different ways: by the Sun, by the Polarization Pattern of the blue sky and by the earth’s magnets field. The Sun is the main compass; the others are used under cloudy skies or inside a dark.

FLORAL


• Most bees are generalists such that they collect Pollen from a range of flowering plants but some are specialists in that they only gather pollen from few species of closely related plants. Specialists also gather floral oils instead of pollen.

BENEFITS


(i) Provide high quality food-honey.
(ii) Provide the royal Jelly.
(iii) Honey act as medicine.

DIFFICULTIES


What affects the bees are the bee eater birds: flycatcher, shrikes and badgers. Bears, racoons and skunks are considered honey eaters.
