1. Honey bees lives in colonies. It consists of three types of bees.
2. One queen bee, several thousands of worker bees and few hundreds of drones or male bees.
3. The primary function of a queen bee is to lay 800 – 1200 eggs per day.
4. The worker bees are the sterile female bees. They attend to indoor duties like secretion of royal jelly, feeding of the brood during first three weeks. After three weeks they attend outdoor duties like collecting nector, pollen and water.
5. Drones are the male members of the colony. They are lazy. Their main duty is participating in mating. After this they die.
6. Thus the division of work is amazing in honey bee colony.
