Learn More About The Bees

Bees are flying insects are extremely important for humankind and closely related to ants, wasps, and hornets. About 20,000 species of bee exist on the earth. Every continent apart from the Antarctica have bees populations. Bee in all over the world plays are important pollinators to flowers and vegetables.

List of some of the food they pollinate for us are blueberries, cherries, apples, nuts, cranberries, avocado, cucumber. Without their existence, our crops would be much smaller in size and of poor quality. Pollination is a crucial part for the life cycle of most plants. Insects, birds and the wind take or collect pollen found in between flowering plants.

This means they can make seeds after reproducing to keep their line alive. Pest control company have various safe ways to manage and rid of  bees infestation in Singapore. Hiring experts for bee hive removal is the best way to permanently solve your pest problem.

Lifecycle, Diet & All

Bee Characteristic

The Bee Lifecycle

The queen bee starts with laying eggs, range equivalent to the size of a grain of rice. They do not crack open like a chicken egg instead when it is time to hatch the soft membrane dissolves. And the tiny larva will absorb the nutrients. In the larval stage, the helpless grub must eat a tremendous amount of food.

Mothers are in charge of collecting a supply of pollen and nectar so that it’s young have the energy to grow. Larva will shed its skin five times before entering its final period of development: the pupal stage. However, some of these species spend months or even years in a larva state before going through a metamorphosis.

Just like the caterpillar of a moth, the larva spins a cocoon before transforming itself. Inside the cocoon, the larva develops a head, legs, and body before finally sprouting its hair and wings. Once the change is complete, the young lives by chewing its way out of the cocoon and commences its adult life.

The Bee Anatomy

The Ocelli, are the three eyes on top of its head use for navigation. They also have two large compound eyes made up of thousands of tiny lenses. It shows them their surroundings as little dots of colours. Most all the worker bee information pertaining the entire surroundings comes from the two trusty antennae.

They may have long or short tongues, depending on the type of flowers their species tend to visit. They have two pairs of wings that interlock and beat in a figure-of-eight pattern. As they fly, they make a buzzing sound. They can beat their wings at around 230 beats per second.

Their legs have adapt to perform many different tasks and segmented to be flexible. They have tarsal claws on their feet to help them grip. And display a preference for petals with conical cells that act like velcro. Only female bees have the sting in the tail, as their stinger has evolved from their egg-laying tube.

Bees have openings called spiracles, and they breathe through it.

The Bee Pollination

Around 90 percent of the world wildflowers rely on pollination by animals, rather than wind or water. They are not the only creatures doing the work, butterflies, moths, wasps, beetles, and even some birds and bats help out. They are natures prime pollinators and are completely dependent on nectar and pollen for royal jelly and survival.

They are unusual in that they feed pollen and nectar directly to their larvae too, so they need a good food source supply. Honeybees are famous for their waggle dance and can visit up to 100 flowers every time they leave the hive. And may do this 15 or more times a day. They prefer to be solitary and live to outperform their social cousins in gathering pollen.

With no “pollen baskets” on their legs, they end up scattering much more pollen around. An enormous number of these species have evolve to support the world huge variety of plants. And that is why we must maintain this diversity and avoid kill the bees. Losing one type of plant or bee can mean the loss of the organism it has adapted to support.

Signs of Bees Infestation

Although infestations do not often happen in the island, there is still a possibility for it to happen. Their stings can cause an allergic reaction and the buzzing sounds can also be irritating.

Watch out for these signs:

Residual Stain

Beehives are remarkable and can survive in surprising places. When honey bees species store honey, they can leave dark patches on ceiling walls. Contacting Professional Bee Pest Control Services when you see the bees nesting or sign is the best. This can attract other unwanted pests.

Sighting

Depending on the species, they live in colonies and can grow quite large in United States North America. Some may have as many as one hundred thousand members. The guard bees defend nest entrance of the hive from intruders. Stay indoors and away as they might sting if threatened.

Nest

Social bees require more space and will nest in sites with a variety of cavities. From abandoned rodent burrows and hollow logs to more creative spots such as compost bins and barbecue grills. In cooler climates, worker and queen honey bees live and build wax combs in open air hives and use their bodies to heat the nests. Please do not attempt to remove it with bee repellant or DIY methods as the result could be fatal.

Bee Sting

When felt threatened, honeybees will sting and dies immediately after. Most species have a barbless stinger that can be multiple times. We highly recommend a visit the nearest doctor when stung for further professional assistance.
