Identification |
1/2-inch in length with golden-yellow in color with darker bands of brown. Most everyone recognizes the honeybee common to any flowering garden.
Habitat |
In the wild, honeybees most often nest inside cavities within trees, but they will also nest within caves and cracks in rock formations. Occasionally, a colony will decide to nest inside a crawl space, an attic, a wall void, or a chimney in a home.
Food Source |
Honey bees feed only on nectar (carbohydrates) and pollen (protein) from flowers. Honey bees sometimes visit |
 |
trashcans and soft-drink containers to feed on sugary foods.
Life Cycle |
Honey bee eggs hatch regardless of whether the are fertilized. The female bees--queens an workers--develop from fertilized eggs that contain 32 chromosomes. These 32 chromosomes consist of two sets of 16, one set from each parent. Hence female bees are said to be diploid in origin. The males (drones) develop from unfertilized egg which contain only one set of 16 chromosomes from their mother. Drones are thus haploid in origin This reproduction by the development of unfertilized eggs is called parthenogenesis.
.
Additional | Honey bees are not aggressive, and do not search for something to attack. Instead, they are defensive and will attack only whatever seems to threaten the colony. |
