The most of people have ever tasted honey or use it regularly.
Many people, of course, have ever been at any kind of apiary and have ever seen a beehive. I’m sure that the most of these «meets» were pretty interesting and enthralling. In conclusion, I want to say that it can’t be without the people whose meet with bees was just awful. For example, I tell about the people who was trying to do something with the beehive wrong in the forest or in their gardens.
Anyway, many people know approximately how the bees live. However, there are more interesting facts than it looks the first time about the bees. I’ll tell you a little bit about the structure of life in the beehive.

Hierarchy
Bees have a certain and irrefrangible hierarchy. Queen is the main insect in the beehive. It’s very big and it’s the only one bee that can make a posterity, I mean, the new little bees. All other bees are «worker bees». They are working the whole day for their beehive. They fly, pollinate flowers, make honey from the pollen. What’s interesting that bees are also able to speak with each other from the relatively far destinations. They can say many different things to each other by their «buzz», including that the danger is coming. If it’s danger, every bee will protect it’s beehive and the Queen selflessly and courageously. Yes, the bee don’t have any way expect to die after the stinging someone but the protection of the Queen and beehive is more important for them than the life. They understand that they are strong together and that the Queen is only the one continuation of the life in their beehive.
Another interesting fact about the «worker bees» is that they are able to find the back road to their beehive very fast and without any problems.
The bees are social insects
All bees build their beehive together, cell for cell. They help each other and because of that the beehive can be built very fast and qualitatively. Yes, the bees are social insects without any doubts. They are also looking for the posterity together. By the way, the wasps’ Queen should look for her «children» by herself.
I should also say that in the early stages of beehive’s development there are can be some male bees in the beehive. What can I say? In my view, in every society, including bees’ society, not everyone wants to work.
Busy as a bee unless it's raining. hehe
