Answer 1

Ответ:

1 The queen bee lays each egg in a drone cell

2 A larva that can grow into a uterus feeds only on royal jelly

3 Fertilized bee eggs grow into queen bees and worker bees.

4 The bees are crowding out the drones, as the drones eat up all the collected honey.

5 Honey is made from the nectar of flowers

6 The lifespan of a worker bee depends on the complexity of the job

Answer 2

1. The queen bee lays each of her eggs in...

The queen bee lays each of her eggs in individual cells within the honeycomb. These cells are made of beeswax and are hexagonal in shape. The queen bee carefully selects the cells where she will lay her eggs, ensuring that each cell is clean and suitable for the development of the egg [[1]].

2. A larva that might grow into a queen eats only...

A larva that might grow into a queen bee eats only royal jelly. Royal jelly is a special secretion produced by worker bees. It is rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals, and is fed exclusively to the potential queen larvae during their development. This exclusive diet of royal jelly triggers the development of the queen's reproductive organs and allows her to become sexually mature [[2]].

3. Fertilized bee eggs will grow into...

Fertilized bee eggs will grow into female worker bees or queen bees. When the queen bee mates with a drone (male bee), the eggs she lays are fertilized. These fertilized eggs have the potential to develop into either worker bees or queen bees, depending on the diet and care they receive during their larval stage [[3]].

4. Drones are made to leave the hive...

Drones are male bees whose primary purpose is to mate with a queen bee from another colony. Once a drone reaches sexual maturity, it leaves its home hive in search of a queen bee from a different colony to mate with. This behavior is known as "drone congregation areas" and is a natural part of the reproductive cycle of bees. After mating, the drone dies, and the queen bee returns to her hive [[4]].

5. Honey is made from...

Honey is made from nectar, a sugary liquid produced by flowers. Worker bees collect nectar from flowers using their long tongues called proboscises. They store the nectar in their honey stomachs and return to the hive. Inside the hive, the worker bees pass the nectar to other worker bees through a process called trophallaxis. During this process, enzymes are added to the nectar, and it is stored in honeycomb cells. The bees then fan their wings to evaporate the water content of the nectar, resulting in the thick, sweet substance we know as honey [[5]].

6. The lifespan of a worker bee depends on...

The lifespan of a worker bee depends on various factors, including the time of year and the role it performs within the hive. During the summer months, when the hive is most active, worker bees typically live for about 6 weeks. However, worker bees that are born in the autumn can live for several months, as they are needed to help the colony survive through the winter. The tasks performed by worker bees, such as nursing larvae, cleaning the hive, collecting nectar, and guarding the hive, also affect their lifespan [[6]].
