We know that bees have been producing honey as they do today for at least 100 million years (since the Cretaceous period)*. Bees produce honey as food stores for the hive during the long months of winter when flowers aren't blooming and therefore little or no nectar is available to them.

Honey Bee - 0 views

The hive is ruled over by a queen bee. She is the largest bee in the hive, and she is the only female to mate. Males usually just hang around; their only purpose is to mate with the queen. Then they die. The workers do all of the work inside and outside of the hive. Their jobs include: caring for larvae (baby bees), making wax, building honeycomb, cleaning up the hive, storing pollen, making honey, guarding the hive, collecting pollen and nectar.

  Paraphrase The queen bee, being the bee that keeps the hive running, is the largest bee in the hive. The queen is the lone bee that can mate.

Honeycomb is layers of wax cells (little rooms) made into a hexagonal (six-sided) shape. The queen will lay eggs in the cells and Honey Bee babies, called larvae, will hatch. Larvae will eventually pupate (make a coccoon in their cells), and hatch out as adult bees.

  Honeycomb, made by the worker bees, is where the queen will produce eggs is the cells. The eggs, will hatch making larvae that later, turn into adults after they make a coccoon and pupate from it.

The queen lays eggs which become either males, workers, or new queens, depending on the time of year and the age of the hive. After she makes new queens, she will leave the nest with some workers to start a new hive.

  Paraphrase The eggs that will eventually become adults after a long process, will become a worker, or a new queen. Whether it is a worker or a queen, depends on how old the hive is and what the time of year is.
