Honeybees

Honeybees are social insects that live in large colonies, consisting of one queen, many female workers, and male drones. Workers gather nectar and pollen from flowers, which they convert into honey to feed the colony and sustain it year-round. The queen's primary role is reproduction, laying eggs to ensure colony growth. Honeybees communicate through a waggle dance to share information about food sources. They are vital pollinators, supporting global agriculture and ecosystems. Honeybees also produce beeswax used in honeycombs, and their activities contribute significantly to biodiversity and food production.
