these rooms, maintaining the heat and moisture

We had mentioned earlier the life story of a
mosquito. Now, let’s take a look together at what
type of life the worker bee leads.
A worker bee lives between 4 to 6 weeks. For 3
weeks after its birth it lives inside the hive. Its
first job is to
take care of the
growing bees. It
feeds the baby
bees with the
honey and pollen
it takes from
storage.
When the
worker bee
becomes 12 days
old, suddenly,
beeswax starts to
be produced in
its body. The
beeswax is
extremely
important for
bees, because the
bees build their
honeycombs with
beeswax. You will
see the picture of
a honeycomb
when you turn
the page.
