All About Bees!


These are the things we've learnt:

  • Drones (male bees) don't do anything apart from mating.
  • Drones don't have any stingers.
  • Drones are fluffy.
  • All the worker bees are female.
  • Royal jelly is fed to the new queen bee. Royal jelly is made by the worker bees to make new Queen Bee bigger. 
  • When a female bee stings a person, the bee dies.
  • The Queen Bee can lay around 50,000 bees in her lifetime.
  • The Queen Bee lives for 2-3 years.
  • The drones and the worker bees live about 5-6 weeks.
  • The Queen Bee leads her bees in a swarm to a new tree. They recognise their home by the smell.
  • Bees make honey and honey comb with pollens.
