bee colony dynamics

Bee colony dynamics involve a highly organized social structure where one queen bee leads, worker bees maintain and protect the hive, and male drones mate with queens. Worker bees perform tasks like foraging, nursing larvae, and hive cleaning, adjusting their roles based on age and colony needs. The colony's size and health depend on factors like food supply, environmental conditions, and colony productivity. When a new queen is ready, the swarm splits, with some bees leaving to start a new colony, ensuring the colony’s survival and growth through reproduction and resource management.
