How Do Bees Make Royal Jelly?
Royal jelly is a very important substance that is made by worker bees – nurse bees, in particular. This milky white secretion is fed to the queen bee throughout her life. As a result of this diet, she becomes larger than other bees, has a longer lifespan, and most importantly, she develops the ovaries needed to lay eggs.

How to Identify Robber Bees
Robber bees enter another hive with the intention of stealing that colony’s honey. To do so they must open the capped cells and then store the honey in one of their stomachs. They then return home to their hive. Robbing is not easy for them and they often fight other bees to do so.

Wonder
Do Worker Bees Lay Eggs?
The simple answer is yes, worker bees can lay eggs. However, when workers lay eggs, it isn’t a good thing. Worker bees that lay eggs are called laying workers. They do not go on a mating flight like the queen, so all eggs they lay will be unfertilized. That means that they will only produce drones.

Do Bees Need Water?
Bees need water for several reasons. They use it to aid in digestion, to make royal jelly, to dilute honey, and to cool down their hive. They find water by using their incredible sense of smell. It is easy and fun to make a water station for bees at home.

Why do Bees Swarm?
In beekeeping, swarming occurs when a single colony splits into two colonies. This normally happens during the spring, but occasionally bees will swarm during other seasons. When the colony starts to get too large, the existing queen and half of the bees will leave to find another home.

Nucs vs Package Bees
Both nucs and package bees are both used to start new colonies, but what is the difference between the two? A nuc is different than package bees in that it comes with frames containing comb, pollen, honey, and brood. The frames from the nucleus hive are placed in your own hive, then the colony can grow. Nucs can also be used to boost the population of a weaker colony.
