TEAMWORK
Bees are renowned for their teamwork, they work in unison. Each bee performs an important role that benefits the whole colony. For example, the Queen bee lays eggs, drone bees fertilise the eggs and worker bees collect pollen and nectar as well as feed the larvae and protect the colony.
The efficient system would be disrupted without one of the vital members of this work-chain. Every bee knows their role and performs it to the best of their ability. This contributes to both the maintenance of a healthy hive and surrounding ecosystem. Bees are also excellent at communicating with other hive members. They pass information via odor cues and a specific ‘waggle’ dance.
