Document Summary
Unit 04: foraging and reproduction at the individual level, qeens and mating. What causes bees to raise a new queen and about the mating behaviour of queens and drones. Learning outcomes: identify an express the foraging strategies and behaviour of honey bees, explain the processes involved in natural queen rearing and mating behaviour. How foragers find flowers and how flowers attract them. Bees also rob honey from other colonies, a type of wrong foraging behaviour that may strategies followed by bees to collect nectar, pollen, water and propolis. occur during times of nectar dearth. At about three weeks after emergence, workers become field bees that forage for nectar, pollen, water and propolis. Foraging is a risky job because bees are exposed to external dangers and because foraging accelerates their aging process. Bees can be eaten by predators, starve, or get lost.
