Bees belong to Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Spoturopoda, Apiidae and Apiidae in insect taxonomy, and are an important group of Hymenoptera.
According to fossil data, a large number of bees have been found in the late Eocene strata of Tertiary, and many species of APIs have great economic value and are closely related to human life. There are records of bees and their uses in ancient China. Many kinds of products or behaviors are closely related to agriculture and industry. They are called resource insects.
Bees are 8 to 20 mm long, yellowish brown or dark brown, with dense hairs; The head is almost as wide as the chest; Two pairs of membrane wings, the front wing is big and the rear wing is small, and the front and rear wings are connected by wing hooks; The abdomen is nearly oval, with less body hair than the chest and thorns at the end of the abdomen. Bees are completely abnormal insects, which go through four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult.
The formation of honey:
When bees go out to look for flowers and nectar, they suck the nectar into their honey bags with a long kiss like a water pump. When the honey bag is full, the bees fly back to the hive, spit the nectar in the honey bag in the hive, and then the backstage bees in the hive brew for the next time.
Secondly, the bees in the background will constantly flap their wings and dance their bodies, and use physical methods to volatilize the excess water in nectar, so that the water content will be reduced from about 60% to below 18%, forming a high-concentration liquid.
At the same time, bees also secrete digestive enzymes, which reduces the original sucrose content to below 5%, while the converted glucose and fructose content reaches 65% to 80%. It usually takes 7 to 15 days for bees to brew thin nectar into sealed mature honey.
