During the summer vacation, I went to my uncle’s house.
There are two beehives in the yard of my uncle’s house. During the day, these bees will fly out of the nest and dance in the yard. There were some dead bees on the ground.
There is a small hole under the beehive, that is their door, and there are a few gatekeeper bees standing outside the door.
I squatted on the ground and saw only a crawling bee. On its oval head, there was a pair of big black shiny eyes, with a pair of long eyes above it
The tentacles are for greeting companions. It has dense, thin and short hair, even on its legs. Its abdomen is black and yellow (
Light yellow) with alternating markings. There is a poisonous needle behind its butt, which is used for self-defense. It also has a pair of membrane and transparent wings.
The bee running on the ground is underdeveloped and will eventually die.
In the afternoon, my uncle said that I wanted to feed the bees, so I asked him: "Why do you still need to feed the bees? Can't they collect honey by themselves?" My uncle said:
"Because Its not the peak flowering season, and there are almost no flowering plants here. These bees are used to pollinate the strawberries in the greenhouse and the fruit trees in the orchard. To increase their fruit setting rate and yield."< /p>
At this time, my uncle opened the beehive and saw densely packed bees on a beam. The largest one was the queen bee. The uncle brought a tall cup filled with sugar water. The uncle poured the sugar water in the cup into a small box, and then gently closed the lid. Uncle
also said: "If the queen bee flies away, the others will also fly away."
What a group of cute and hard-working elves!
