Honeybees and Honey
Honeybees make honey so they have food to eat.
By William, Devin and Franklin
3
Honeybees cannot get nectar in the winter so they
must make plenty of honey to survive.
4
A honeybee can visit up to 10,000 flowers a day
to get nectar and pollen. That makes only one
teaspoon of honey.
5
It takes nectar and pollen from one million
flowers to make one pound of honey.
6
Egg

• The queen bee lays many eggs. This is the first
  stage of a bees life. The worker bee takes 21
  days to become an adult. The drone takes 24 and
  the queen takes 16 days.

7
Larva

• The baby bee is very small at this stage.
• It takes 3 days to become a pupa.

8
Pupa

• A pupa is a little white worm.
• The pupa spins a silky cocoon around itself
  during this stage.

9
Adult

• The drone lives 1 to 2 seasons.
• Queen bees live 3 to 5 years.
• The worker lives 3 weeks.

10
Where do honeybees live?

• By Patrick, Simon, Monica and Julia

11
They live in all parts of the world except the
Arctic and Antarctic.
12
The honeybees live in a colony in a bee hive.
13
60,000 honeybees live in a hive.

What Jobs Do Honeybees Have

• By Brenda , Megan , J.T. , and Shayne

15
Worker Bees

• Worker Bees build honeycombs, feed the
  larva, clean the hive, and build honeycomb.

16
Drone Bees
The drone bees mate with the queen bee.
17
Queen Bees

• The queen bee lays eggs and is the ruler of the
  hive.

18
The Honeymakers

• By Anna , Elena, Dylan , and Jenny

19
Making Honey

• First, a field bee collects nectar
• Next the honeybee turns the nectar into sweet
  honey

20

• Finally the honey is put into cells called
  honeycombs and then a cap of bees wax is put onto
  the top of the honeycomb
• Then a beekeeper comes and puts the honey in
  bottles to sell to people

21
Interesting Facts

• It takes one million flowers to make a pound of
  honey
• The female workers collect the nectar

22
More Interesting Facts

• The taste and color depends on the nectar
• They take it back to the hive in a honey stomach

Honey Bee Communication

• ByJusten, Shoyhn, Christina, and Shelby
  
  

25
Round Dance
Honeybees communicate one way by doing a dance
called the round dance which tells the estimate
of the distance between the hive and the flowers.
26
Wagging Dance
Honeybees also have another dance called the
wagging dance that they use to say the exact
distance between the hive and the flowers.
27
Pheromone

Honeybees also smell to communicate. The smell
is called pheromone. The worker bees smell this
and it tells them if they can get back to work or
have to help the queen.

HOW HONEYBEES HELP FLOWERS AND CROPS

• KAVON,OLIVIA,HELENA,
• YESSENIA

29
Bees pollinate the same plant for several days.

• A bee is searching for a blossom.

30
A honeybee pollinates crops and helps make seeds.

• Pollen will stick to a honeybees body.

31
The seeds grow and soon become fruit.
