The Life of Animals | Bee | Bees belongs to a class of insects and insect species that belong in the cold-blooded animals whose body heat is affected by changes in air temperature around it. According Sumoprastowo and Suprapto (1993) honey bee included in the family Apidae. There are in Europe, Africa, and Asia. In Apidaae, honey and pollen stored in a vertical strokes, and the larva reared in the same tooth.
Honeybees are social insects that live in groups forming koloni.Dari 20,000 species of bees that are recognized only honey bees that produce honey According to Sarwono (2001) Apidae family is kind of true honey bees. The most important as producing honey and wax are the honeybees of the genus Apis. Honeybees are social insects that live in groups forming koloni.Dari 20,000 species of bees that are recognized only honey bees that produce honey (Rusfidra, 2006). According to Sarwono (2001) Apidae family is kind of true honey bees. The most important as producing honey and wax are the honeybees of the genus Apis.
Honey bee's body consists of three main parts, namely the head (caput), chest (thorax) and abdomen (abdomen). Like insects bees do not have an internal frame where the muscles fit together, but instead is an external body coverings that contain Chitin and cover internal organs.
Anatomy of honey bees in this regard include the digestive system, sensing system, and reproductive systems. Digestive system in honey bees in a row are: mouth, osefagus, bags honey, proventriculus, ventriculus, small intestine, large intestine, colon and rectum. Sensing system in honey bees includes the senses sight, smell, and sense of touch. In terms of the reproductive system, reproductive organs are fully developed on the bees only on drones and queens. A productive adult queen bee can lay 1000-2000 eggs per day.
One requirement is the presence of live bees crops. In general, bees can live in the entire hemisphere, except in the polar regions. This is due in the polar regions there are no plants that become a source of bee food. In tropical bees can breed well and productive throughout the year because the plant as a source of feed available continues. In sub-tropical regions unproductive bees in the winter (Suranto, 2004) In the wild bees living in caves in the forest, including the cliffs. In the forest, colonies of bees also live in hollow trees. While in the area of beekeeping live in a place that had provided his name stup.
Worker bees are a group whose number the most in the colony. Worker bees are also derived from a fertilized egg cell. Ovaries are not fully developed so it can not lay eggs. Worker bees responsible for the welfare of the colony. Except for reproductive tasks, all work on honey bee colonies are fully performed by the worker bees. Tasks in accordance with the development of worker bees age. From start to hatch until the age of three days as a janitor. Age 3-12 days served as a nurse larvae. From day to 13-18 strokes in charge of making and polishing nest. From age 18 to 20 acting as a bodyguard and keep the freshness of the air inside the nest. Starting the 20th day until the arrival of death on duty bees collect nectar, pollen, propolis and water. In my old worker bees serve as a guide for the young bees to find the location of the collection of nectar, pollen, propolis and water
