Bees do not eat human barns, jade dew is hops and food. From "Bee'er" by Yang Wanli in the Song Dynasty. Bees do not eat human barns, but jade dew feeds hops. Don’t be busy gathering flowers when making honey. The honey will still be fragrant with flowers.
Thousands of bees dare not taste the honey, but they have to lose it to the country to provide for the queen bee. Before the queen bee can enjoy it, people have harvested the honeycomb. Old honey has turned into wax, young honey has become honey. There was no wax left in the honey chamber, and the old glutton came to search my chamber. The old bees are tasteless and have only water content, while the young bees have not yet matured. The old glutton's fire attack didn't stop, so he destroyed my house and took away my son.
This poem tells us that the bees work tirelessly to allow people to eat sweet and delicious honey. At the same time, the bees also pollinate the plants, allowing the plants to be passed down from generation to generation, and bloom fragrantly every year. flower.
The workers who are busy collecting nectar in the flowers are worker bees. Among bees, worker bees have the most important tasks. Worker bees collect 10 pounds of nectar to produce 1 pound of honey. The lifespan of worker bees is only about a month during the honey-gathering period, and they often die of exhaustion during the high-intensity honey-gathering process. Worker bees can live for about three months in the winter when they are not collecting honey, so most worker bees die of overwork. .
