Where does bee poop and pee go?

Question

I need this for a sci project, and I have looked everywhere on the net, but nothing. Please be serious, and where is the wax secreted from?

Answer 1

Bees secrete wax near their stinger, on the rear of the bee. Check the first source for proof of this.

Bee poop and pee is a mustard like substance that is secreted onto other flowers and plants. Bees do this in order to dispose of waste products like other animals. However, additionally bees poop and pee on flower in order to leave scent trails for other bees.

Bee poop, like other creatures comes out of their behind.

Now, as for bee pee, well bee pee comes mixed with bee poop and is excreted from the same location as the bee poop (their rear, near the stinger but farther then the wax producing component). Bees don't really pee as you or I would pee, but release a tiny bit of uriac acid mixed in with their poop. They need to conserve water as much as possible.

As for honey -- bee honey is not bee poop or bee pee. It is a collection flower nectars, bee spit, and wax. There might be a tiny bit of bee waste, but it's insignificant.

Answer 2

>>Bees have so called the malphigian tubes --> bee-equivalent of the human kidneys,inside the gut (the ventriculus).The malphigian tubes take out nitrogenous waste from the haemolymph and the waste passes into the rectum. In winter, bees can store waste material for weeks before going out on a “voiding flight” on a warm day. Husks of pollen grain are common waste content.

>>Wax is produced from underneath their abdomens from four wax mirrors. The bees catch the wax produced with their hind legs, pass it up to the middle and then front legs then, using their mouth parts, working as a team, mould the wax into cappings etc.

Answer 3

Not a scientist here but I have discovered many bee hives in trees in my time. If the tree is hollow and has an opening up high and one down at the bottom then down at the bottom of the tree there will appear a thin coat of what I assume is waste from the bees around the lower opening.

Answer 4

I saw a picture online a few days ago. It showed a bee peeing while flying. It was a close-up and you can see the stream of pee trailing out behind it.

Answer 5

The wax comes from glands in the abdomen.

Bees do leave behind droppings. but I know little about that. Try looking in the yellow pages for a local beekeeper and ask them. They would know for sure.

Answer 6

They depostit them beneath the nest hole I think.

It says that in these two links:
