Bees collect nectar from flowers

Bees gather flowers to
collect the pollen and
the nectar and returns
to the hive to make
some honey
The female workers


“A woman’s work never ends.” Nowhere is this
statement truer than in the hive, where all of
the work is done by female bees, which
outnumber male bees by a ratio of 100 to 1.
Worker bees are responsible for every job in
the hive except reproduction. The female
worker bees have different positions within the
hive. Some are scouts, some are guards, some
care for the queen, some produce honey, etc.
Below are some of the jobs in the hive
Bee scout

The scout's main "job" is to find new places
to build their hives, if they need one. After
spoting the new home, they will rush back to
the original hive, informing the fellow bee's
about the new area [like maybe how far away
it is or in which direction it is. (they do that
by "dancing.")]
Guard the hive

Guard bees protect the hive, stinging
intruders and emitting a pheromone to
warn bees inside the hive of impending
danger.
The Queen’s court

The queen bee is wholly unable to care for
herself, because of this she is often
surrounded by a ring of attendant bees that
follow her, feed her, groom her and carry
away her waste.
The queen’s work

The queen is like the goddess: her life is
committed to selfless service by being the
reproductive center of the hive. She lays all
the eggs (about 1,500 per day!) and only
leaves the hive once in her life in order to
mate.
