Bees were one of the first animals that humans domesticated and started farming. Nowadays, one third of the food on your table comes there because of bees. Bees play an enormous part in peoples lives even if they don't eat honey. Beekeeping is part art and part science and takes a long time to master. Only after you've opened thousands of hives do you really know what's going on inside. We know about bees and can show you all the interesting things that go on in a beehive without getting stung!
Bees love some flowers and Birds love others
Flowers are adapted to be pollinated by different animals. Some flowers have evolved to be insect pollinated while others need hummingbirds or other larger animals to transfer the pollen from the flower.Honey starts off as nectar in flowers. Plants create fantastically beautiful flowers and sweet nectar to entice bees to the plant. The bees drink the nectar and collect pollen from the flower. As bees move from flower to flower, some of the collected pollen is left at the next plant. The transported pollen enters the new flower and the plant is able to reproduce. Bees work as the plants' courier and their payment is the energy packed nectar, and nutrient and protein rich pollen.
