Description

Bee coming back to Hive with pollen on their legs. Some bees land on the hive box to wait to get there turn to get in. Others are more optimistic and try to fly right into the hive. Watching bees at work is very relaxing. They make a figurtive 8 dance going out and coming back to the hive. If you never have been around a hive the things you need to watch out for is that you are not in the honey bees flight stream. They will literally fly into you because they don't expect someone to be in their way. Don't wear dark close the honey bees might mistaken you for a bear, which as you might guess loves stealing their honey. Lastly if you smell bananas that means the hive is upset and they are more likely to attach and stink. Most of the time they simply go about their own business and will leave you be.
A honey bee is any member of the genus Apis, primarily distinguished by the production and storage of honey and the construction of, colonial nests from wax. In the early 21st century, only seven species of honey bee are recognized, with a total of 44 subspecies, though historically six to eleven species are recognized.
