How Do The Bees Share Out All The Different Jobs In A Hive?

Answer 1

When a bee is born it’s first job is to clean out the cell in which she was born. Jobs are then allocated on the basis of age.

Duties of Worker Bees
1-2 days - Cleans cells and keeps the brood warm
3-5 days - Feeds older larvae
6-11 days - Feeds youngest larvae
12-17 days - Produces wax, Builds comb, Carries food, Undertaker duties
18-21 days - Guards the hive entrance
22+ days - Flying from hive begins, Pollinates plants, Collects pollen, nectar and water..

Answer 2

The queen bee is the leader of the whole swarm. Worker bee does the job whole day. Some die due to overwork! (I feel pity on them). Following are the duties of Worker Bees
1-2 days - they clean the cells and keeps the brood warm
3-5 days - feeds younger larvae
6-11 days - feeds elder larvae
12-17 days - produces wax, builds comb, carries food
18-21 days - they guard the hive entrance (this becomes a menace as people in spite of these, may take honey from the comb)
22 days to the end of the month - Flying from hive begins, Pollinates plants, Collects pollen, nectar and water (regurgitated water are drunk by the ther bees)

Answer 3

There are three castes of honey bees: queens, which produce eggs; drones or males, which mate with the queen and have no stinger; and workers, which are all non-reproducing females. The queen lays eggs singly in cells of the comb. Larvae hatch from eggs in three to four days and are fed by worker bees and develop through several stages in the cells. Cells are capped by worker bees when the larva pupates. Queen and drones are larger than workers and require enlarged cells to develop. A colony may typically consist of tens of thousands of individuals

Answer 4

It depends on their species, sex and caste, for example the males (drones) only function is to mate with a queen, which they accompany on her maiden flight, the fittest mating with her and providing her with enough sperm for life, after which, function fulfilled, that and the other males die. When the queen dies, her pheromones are no longer directing the activity of the nest; the workers feed some of the larvae "royal jelly", which produces new queens, and the first one, which has a retractable sting (unlike all the worker bees, which die after having used their sting once) goes around and sniffs out all the other queens in their beeswax cells, and stings them to death through the covered cell lid. This ensures that she has no competition, and it is her genes which will be perpetuated. Her pheromones (chemical scent signals) control the activity of other bees, to a certain extent. The workers duties are determined by age, but in some species at least, the workers are capable of laying their own eggs in the hexagonal beeswax chambers, and seal them up afterwards with wax. They must get away with this often enough to have become established as a trait of that species, or it would have died out long ago. If the queen detects one, she will kill it, but she can't be everywhere, and she has her own eggs to lay.

Answer 5

--Much better than human beings working in a company!
With no MBA degrees to their names, bees do a MUCH better job of co,operation, co.ordination, directing operations, setting long-term and short-term goals, and propagating their race!
Being creatures of a Higher Power who controls ALL His creations, the bees are disciplined and hard-working than 'educated and cultured' human beings!!
Proof? The results prove the efforts!

Answer 6

Bees sort their jobs by how big they are or what pattern they have. Most larvae are grown into worker bees.

Answer 7

They are genetically programmed for their work.

Answer 8

i think the queen allots thier agendas.

Answer 9

the queen tells them what to do

Answer 10

They pick straws to see who does what job..
