Honey Bee - Abeja de Miel

Apis mellifera

Description:

Bees live in colonies. They feed on nectar and pollen, and produce honey as a reserve in times of scarcity. They communicate with a series vibratory movements that indicate the distance and direction of food relative to the sun. There are three castes of bees: the queen, the only fertile female. The workers, infertile females, do most of the tasks of the colony. They have a stinger with poison to defend itself, but die after nail. And the drones, which are male and do not work. Its purpose is to fertilize the queen.------------------------------Las abejas viven en colonias. Se alimentan de néctar y de polen, y producen miel como reserva en tiempos de escasez. Se comunican con una serie movimientos vibratorios que indican la distancia y orientación del alimento con respecto al sol. Existen tres castas de abejas: La reina, única hembra fértil y reproductora. Las obreras, hembras infértiles, hacen la mayor parte de las tareas de las colonia. Poseen un aguijón con veneno para defenderse, pero mueren después de clavarlo. Y los zánganos, que son machos y no trabajan. Su propósito es fertilizar a la reina.

Habitat:

Bees live in any place where there are flowers, therefore, inhabit all continents except polar areas by low vegetation.--------------------------Las abejas viven en cualquier lugar en donde haya flores; por lo tanto, habitan todos los continentes, excepto las zonas polares por su escasa vegetación.
