TAILIEUCHUNG - Bees And Honey - Part 2

The bees behaviour When the worker honeybee emerges from its cell, by biting around the capping and squeezing itself through the hole, it is slightly lighter in colour and more hairy than its older sisters. Young adults often take quite a while to get out of their cells because the other workers take little or no notice | The bees behaviour When the worker honeybee emerges from its cell by biting around the capping and squeezing itself through the hole it is slightly lighter in colour and more hairy than its older sisters. Young adults often take quite a while to get out of their cells because the other workers take little or no notice of them and trample around on their heads quite happily. But eventually they draw themselves out of the cells rather like drawing a cork and you might almost expect to hear a pop . They are a bit staggery on their feet and of course quite useless to the colony their glands are not working they cannot sting and the only work possible for them to do is cleaning up which is just the job they do for the first three or four days. During this time they are being fed by the other bees and their glands become activated and ready for use so that by the end of the cleaning up periods their bodies are fully hardened and in full working order indeed they will usually take a short few minutes flight not to forage for anything but just a trial flight around the hive what the beekeepers call a play flight . Now the bee is ready to do any job required by the colony and as observation has shown it does a number of different jobs during the course of each day. In the normal colony there is a very loose progression through different jobs according to age. This progression is cleaning feeding larvae manipulating wax processing honey and guard duty. However any job can be done at any time and the needs of the colony are paramount. This indoor work continues for about the first twenty days of adult life and during this time the beekeeper talks of the bee as a house bee or a nurse bee . After this it becomes a forager or flying bee and its life style alters completely. Behaviour of house bees Many old grannies used to talk about the busy bee improving the shining hour . I am afraid they were a long way out as far as I can see the worker bee does not put in as many hours .
