Detailed explanation-1: -Honey bees live in large family groups called colonies. A full-sized colony at the height of the growing season contains an average of 60, 000 individual bees. Honey bees tended by beekeepers live in wood boxes called hives (See Activity Sheet 5).
Detailed explanation-2: -Worker bees are all female, and are all offspring of the queen. But there are males in the hive called drones. Drones fly off to reproduce with other young queens who will start a new colony. There are three types of honey bee within every hive: workers, drones, and a queen.
Detailed explanation-3: -A typical honeybee hive contains about 60, 000 to 80, 000 individuals of three different kinds: workers (also called foragers once they begin to leave the hive), drones, and a single queen.
