Beekeeping





1.  Study a hive of bees. Remove the combs. Find the queen. Figure the

     amount of the brood, number of queen cells. Figure the amount of

     honey in the hive.



2.  Show the differences among the drones, workers, eggs, larvae, and

     pupae at different stages. Tell the differences among honey, wax,

     pollen, and propolis. Tell how bees make honey. Tell where wax

     comes from. Explain the part played in the life of the hive by the

     queen, the drones, and the workers.



3.  Hive a swarm or divide at least one colony. Explain how a hive is

     made.



4.  Put foundations in sections or frames. Fill supers with frames from

     the hive. Fix the honey for market.



5.  Write in not more that 200 words how and why the honeybee is used

     in pollinating farm crops. Name five crops in your area pollinated

     by honeybees.
