Answer 1

Don't know if this would help.

"Suddenly, a semi-trailer, loaded with bee hives passed me.
The further along I drove, it appeared as though I was going in his direction. We were both headed towards Texas".

A few hours later, the truck turned onto a farm road. I decided to follow it.
WOW!, There were hundreds or thousands of bee hives all over this farm.

On further inquiry, I learned that bee hives are transported each year in the winter, from Northern bee farms to the South, for the winter.
This perpetuates the production of honey year round.

Answer 2

The interesting thing about honeybees is that they are ruled by the females. Each hive has one queen, which is basically an egg laying machine and can lay up to one to two thousand eggs per day. A colony can exceed a population of over 60 thousand in the early spring. The hive is primarily made up of worker bees, which are also female. There are a few drones (males) and they have only one job, which is to mate with a queen. A queen mates in flight with several drones and after which the drones will die. The worker bee will perform hive duties for the first two-weeks of its lives. These duties include cleaning the hive, preparing the cells for the queen to lay eggs in and nursing the young larvas. The older bees have duties outside the hive. The scout bees will look for nectar, water and pollen sources, then return to the hive with a sample and report the location, direction and distance to the source. Workers will then eat a sufficient amount of honey and then head out to gather whatever the scouts have brought back. If you look at the entrance of a hive you would see some bees facing towards the hive and others facing away fanning their wings. This is how they regulate the temperature inside the hive, which is kept at about 92 degrees and is ideal for raising the larvae. Some bees are guard bees and it is their duty to guard the entrance and not allow unwanted intruders to enter. Another interesting thing is that the bees working inside the hive work in total darkness. Feel free to contact me for more details at [e-mail]
