Honey Bees - Life Cycle 

They don't have to run out, help raise awareness about the little bee's plight, being a beekeeper is an amazing job and is so rewarding because you are saving the lives of so many little bees. It's also very interesting to see them work together.

I used to fear bees, but I deeply respect and admire them. They are way more important and a lot cuter than wasps.

I had a bee land on my computer about 1 minute ago.. I put my finger up next to it and it crawled right up unto it. I let it fly out the window. I think I made a new friend.

I am doing research for a painting I am doing for the Diabetes Foundation. Theme is "All Things Wild and Wonderful". My fruit trees are producing less and less and my neighbors in Upstate NY have had to stop making honey as the bees have disappeared. I am concerned for these precious creatures and am going to introduce these videos to my grandchildren to also teach them the importance of bees.

I always love to watch insects and animals's life cycles.

one of Nature's most Beautiful & Amazing Creatures, a very hard working & remarkable insect! GOD BLESS HONEYBEES!

What an absolutely sensational video. I promise I will bee here again.

I work with a beekeeper and we use our cell phones at the bee yards. It necessarily doesnt have anything to do with cell phones even though alot of people think that. The main reason bees are disappearing are because mites have become very immune to disease due to human pesticides and what not and the mites end up killing the larvae. Bees cannot live naturally in trees anymore becuase of these mites.

Im 16 and I am a beeceeper too, in Sebia every 10th man is a beeceeper. we dont were any sults or protection. You are a bit messy, I must say ;) ... bees are wonderfull beings. Greitings from Serbia.

I have always admired these insects and their relationships with plants. It's quite an amazing form of mutualistic bonds between the species which belongs to a completely different kingdoms, in some sense it's a very advanced form of symbiosis between autortophs and heterotrophs.

Bees are amazing creatures. It is common misunderstanding they are honey collectors, but their most important role is pollination. When beekeper transports his bees into orchard, the owner of orchard should pay him because he can count on better profit...

it's so crazy how the bees know their specific tasks

What a great video!!! Its incredible how bees are so organized creatures, I can't believe how nature's wisdom and animal instinct combine in this spectacular creation: The Bee.

This is AWESOME video. What the possability of this video have close caption?

Bees ado wonderful and interesting things at the same time.

Honey is one of the best sources of natural foods, thank you for this interesting video

Generally, you need to check with your local ordinances, though usually you don't have to have a permit in order to keep bees on your property. Though you should let your closest neighbors know about your intentions, and let them know you are wiling to share the bounty of your harvest with them.

Thank you for going to the effort to make this excellent video. Not all You tube videos give out such highly detailed information.

Unless specified usually the answer is no and you don't usually need a permit or a license to have them, it's a good idea to check though.

I can't resist adding this to my favorite. What a wonderful video. And I didn't know worker bees are all female.

awesome...how is the queen chosen?

Thanks for the video! My first hive arrives in March and I can't wait.

Interesting! I only watched this because my nephew Alfie likes Honey and wanted to see how it produced.

Great video! If you live in a residential area, do you have to have some sort of license to have a bee farm?

I love youtube. I dont think there has ever been a better tool for education. Too bad its mostly used for cute kitten videos lol

Wow how fascinating, thank you for this upload. Beeswax is secreted from glands and is used by the honeybee to build honey comb. It is used by humans in drugs, cosmetics, artists' materials, furniture polish and candles.

Thanks for the educational video. I look forward to checking out more.

Awesome This IS What i watched in school today :D.

just like humans, who only have one queen/king at a time. colony is the name given to all the bees living in the hive, a collective noun for social insects. "hive" and "colony" are the same word really when talking about bees. hope that helped :)

I love learning about Bees! They're just so interesting but they're running out.:(

Excellent video, very informative. Thank you.

Great videos! thax for all the info. Anybody know where we can get a cheap starter set with bees. Whats a good price for a starter set?

Thankyou this would be a great website for my teacher

Bees play a crucial role in our ecosystem.

finaly something inresting on youtube!!! more this kind of stuff

When the Queen becomes too old, injured, died or swarms, the workers look for eggs that are less than 3 days old. Up to this time all the eggs are fed "Royal" jelly. Workers are fed Bees Bread after day 3. They find several eggs that meet the criteria to become a Queen and enlarge those cells and feed those Royal jelly. After 16 days a new Queen emerges and kills any others that have not hatched yet. BTW this is the only time a Queen will sting! Day 23, mating flight and then starts laying.

Wonderful viewing, it's like magic! Thankyou.

greetings from a bee keper from Romania! :)

my teacher is a bee keeper he talked about his bees for 53 mins when im in his class sometimes

Very interesting video, Thanks for sharing it with us.

Very well done! :) This is very accurate info about bees. I'm an avid beekeeper and I've written articles for American Bee Journal and Bee Culture Magazine.

how do they get the honey off without the bees realizing?

this video is very nice, tells us about the life cycle of honey bees.must watch...

This was very interesting.

Really nice cheers !

@108everest why do u think he is messy?Really so many ppl keep bees?Are u exporting the honey (as in..Serbia exporting honey)_or is it for internal use?> how much 1kg How much the royal jelly ?and...is everyone feeding their bees syrop(sugar+water)?why is that ,arent the flowers enough?(polen...coz i am thinking that ifthey eat sugar the honey cantb that nutritious Thanks

this is a very cool video! thanks for sharing.

i would love to know how a bee knows what its job is?. just amazing! thank-you.

this is such an awesome video. Thanks!

Very interesting video! Bees are an incredible species!

Interesting !!!!! Good work !!!!!

It's an excellent video! Great Job!! Keep it up.

Very educational video

I like the bee videos keep them coming.i'm getting 2 nuc on the 10th of mey i'm a newbeekeeper

thanks so much for posting this, its such a useful video!

Informative video - thanks

so each box (seen at 4:42) has a colony in it. In the summer the hive can have as many as 50,000 bees and there is only one queen in the entire hive

I HAVE A QUESTION!!!! How Do they make another Queen BEE?

9 Euro in Austria /Europe, 1 Kilo.

You know I heard it was the cell phone towers, apparently the frequency we broadcast our cell phones on is the same frequency the bees do. I don't know if this is true or not, so don't quote me on it.

bees are awesome

I was always curious to understand the fundamental point of a Drone's life and how there only point of existence is to mate with the virgin queen. How there life is robbed of existence after there specific job is completed maiting with the V queen (there sexual organs are hooked, there by being torn apart after reproduction with V queen). For those that dont mate due to one Queen and a handful of drones, will be expelled from there colony before the end of autumn,inevitably dieing..such fate

thumbs up if you love honey and bees

This was helpful

fanstastic...to say the least!

Thank you for the interesting video!

Bees R so COOL!!!!

Thanks for the upload, very interesting.

That is correct all the bees are made inside the hive, unless you have a feral hive that is not located inside of a hive. The worker bees will make a "New" Queen in the event that the current queen dies, or isn't laying enough to satisfy the workers. It is an exciting society, that is for sure!! Enjoy what you are learning in school!!

how can we not believe in god after watching this?!

We need bees but we dont need wasps

thanks for this video

there are over 20,000 solitary bee species and nearly none will sting you. They pollinate better than social bees.

Love it...

Love it thanks!

fascinating! thanks

bees are sooooooo coooooooooooooooooooool

Thank you!

super video must watch

I'm not scared of snakes or spiders, but I am terrified of bees. You guys can handle them; I'll watch you safely on RU-vid lol.

they're original domestic Honeybees (European Honeybee)!

me too

I wasn't sure if this is true or not, but is it true that the workers start to lay eggs if the queen dies or is taken away?

lets save the bees

i learned alot of things

go buy it.

nice

OMG I LOVE HONEY!

yes, sometimes a worker bee will start to lay. This is not good, her eggs are sterile, and hatch into drones. The hive is doomed.

great great great

This bees seems to be very dark are they north europeans? Bugfast

my neighbor has a bee farm

I bet your a dude - ants do the same thing

how do they get the honey off without the bees realizing?
