The Queen flies back to the hive. Laying many eggs in her job. She puts one egg in each cell.
In three days the eggs hatch. Out come larvae. Worker bees feed the larvae.
After five o six days, workers cover the larvae cells. Inside the cell, the larvae grow into a pupa. In about ten days, a young bee comes out of the cells.
Hives have only one queen. Most other bees are workers. Some bees are drones. Workers are females. Drones are males.
Young worker bees stay inside the hive. They clean cells and make food. Drones do no work.
Workers make wax to build cells. Some cells are for eggs. Other cells are for food.
Sometimes the hive is too hot. The wax begins to melt. Worker bees beat their wings as fast they can. They make wind to cool the hive.
The door of the hive must be watched. Robber bees try to steal honey. Workers and robbers fight. Both bees die after stinging once.
Outside the hive, older worker bees look for flowers. Inside a fiore is Cibo for bees. Bees change some of the Cibo into honey.
After finding flowers, a bee flies home. Other workers smell her food. They want to find fiori too.
The bee tells where the fiori are da dancing. The others feel her move. Now they all know where to get food.
Sometimes a hive too many bees. The queen, some workers, and a few drones fly away. They look for a new hive. In the old hive, a new Queen is born.
Not all bees are the same. Bumblebees build nests. Stingless bees cannot sting, but they can bite hard. Carpenter bees make homes da digging into trees.
