Greetings and greetings from the bottom of my heart to all animal loving friends in the Steam Animal community.

The life cycle of bees and their extraordinary living arrangements are not unknown to any of us. All of us have tasted honey from bees at least once in our life. Today I will discuss the life system of these bees and their honey production in detail.

Another wonder of the creation world is called bee. Bees make hives in any convenient place like branches of trees, bushes, tree trunks, brokers' balconies etc. 50,000 to 100,000 bees live together in a colony.

Bee is a hardworking animal. Which you can understand just by looking at his hive. There are many hives inside a beehive. And these huts are very beautifully decorated and round. These combs are made from the hair secreted by the hair glands of bees.

Baby bees are produced in these hives. And stores honey. And to strengthen the structure of the nest, they collect the resin part of the tree and use it in their house. I want to show you a picture of a beehive right now.

Bees build their nests according to their body size and volume. Each tea contains one queen bee. And the queen bee's house is the biggest.

Bees, like humans, have specific social systems. A colony of bees is a family. The bee social system is matriarchal. Queen bee is the head of their society.

Bees are divided into three groups based on size and function. Namely: queen bee, male bee and female or worker bee

A hive contains hundreds of male bees. There is only one queen bee. And all other bees are worker bees.

Queen Maharashtra is very large in size compared to other bees. A queen bee often lays more than one and a half dozen eggs in her lifetime. The queen bee's job is to lay eggs and reproduce and maintain order in the colony.

^{A hive has only one queen bee}

Among the bees, the female bees work the hardest, i.e. the worker bees. They are the smallest in size. They don't lay eggs, they are basically captive. 99% of bees in a hive are female bees. Their life span is about fifty days on average. Worker i.e. female bees perform all the tasks assigned to them in a short period of time.

Some of the bees stay in the hive for safety. Some are engaged in beehive cleaning. Someone else takes care of the newborn baby. And the rest are always engaged in collecting honey.

A worker bee collects about half a cup of honey in its lifetime. Bees need 2 million flowers to produce 500 grams of honey. Bees have to travel 90 thousand kilometers to collect this amount of honey.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if there were no bees in the world? Science says that if bees disappear from the earth, then human civilization will last only four years. It is an approximation but it is true that without bees human civilization could not survive for long.

90% of the world's fruits and crops are pollinated by bees. Crops will not survive if bees do not assist in pollination. Bees contribute to 70% of the world's food supply.

^{Bees help produce 70 percent of food}

The beneficial animal is decreasing day by day at an alarming rate. In the last decade, a third of the total bees have disappeared. These bees are disappearing due to various reasons. The main reason for this is the use of excessive pesticides. Farmers use pesticides to protect crops from various pests. And pesticides kill bees. Also, due to drought and loss of trees and lack of food, bees are on the verge of extinction. We humans are responsible for this.

Every animal like human has right to live in beautiful world. As the best creatures in creation, it is our responsibility as humans to protect their safety. We cannot harm other animals for our own interests. Allah Ta'ala has created various kinds of animals in the world for the needs of people. Without biodiversity, the balance of the environment would not be preserved. It would have been difficult for humans to live on Earth. We get various materials including our food from animals. All animals, big and small, play a small role in enriching our environment. It is our responsibility and duty to ensure the safety of every animal.
