3. Honeybee is a kind of social insect. It lives in a colony in the nest. Bee colony is an independent survival unit that can reproce. A colony of bees is usually composed of three indivials with different shapes and functions, namely one queen, tens of thousands of worker bees and thousands of drones. They live together in the same hive. Indivials have different division of labor, but they depend on each other. Just like an organism, they can resist the heat and cold of nature. Each colony has its own unique smell, and there are strict colony boundaries between colonies. In the natural state, worker bees have the characteristics of repelling other groups of worker bees and queens, and each belongs to its own nest. In addition to the natural alternation of new and old queens, queens are incompatible with each other. There is no strict colony boundary for male bees, so they can enter and leave freely among different colonies. When there is a lack of honey and powder source and feed, they will also be expelled by workers in the colony
the size of a colony depends on the number of worker bees. Different bee species, different seasons, different queen, the size of the colony is not the same. An excellent Italian queen bee can maintain the colony in the strong season, with more than 60000 worker bees. However, when reproction is resumed, the number of worker bees in poor colony can be as few as several thousand. The colony of Apis cerana can only maintain the colony potential of 30000-40000 bees in the strong season and the better queen.

4. Honeybee is a social insect, which is engaged in social life. There are various kinds of information exchange between indivials in bee colony, just like human beings. They don't have language, they mainly transmit information through bee dance, vocalization and bee pheromone
bee dance is a kind of body language that bees use different forms of body movements with different frequencies to convey certain information. At present, the most in-depth study of bee dance is round dance and tail swing dance. Round dance means that the dancing worker bees find a source of honey within 100 meters from the nest and tell their companions to go out to collect. Wagging dance means that the worker bees find the honey source 100 meters away from the nest. In addition, the new moon dance was also found; When the bees divide, they call their companions to "whoosh dance" in zigzag shape; As well as alarm dance, cleaning dance, massage dance and back belly vibration dance
bees often make some sounds to convey certain information in life. For example, when honey is flowing, the bee field often makes a loud "buzz" sound, which may be a labor call to encourage peers to actively collect and brew honey. Within a few hours after the colony lost its queen, the colony proced a "poop poop" sound to transmit information. When the virgin king comes out of the room, the virgin king who comes out of the room first will make a "squeak" sound, and the mature queens in the rest of the same group will also make the same sound
in addition to the above-mentioned ways, a lot of information among bees is transmitted by chemical substances. These substances that can be used to transmit information among the same species are called pheromones. The main pheromones of honeybee are queen pheromone, worker pheromone, drone pheromone and larva pheromone. They convey a lot of complex information in bee behavior. For example, Queen pheromone can make worker bees perceive the existence of Queen; Worker bee pheromone can be used as a navigation signal to tell bees the way to return to nest, and also as an alarm signal to guide other bees to attack enemies; The pheromone of honeybee larvae can make worker bees sense the existence of larvae, tell them the starvation state, and make worker bees feed them.
