Trade Lead Description:
Honey is laid down by bees as a food source. In cold weather or when food sources are scarce, bees use their stored honey as their source of energy.[12] By contriving for the bee swarm to make its home in a hive, people have been able to semi-domesticate the insects. In the hive there are three types of bee: the single queen bee, a seasonally variable number of drone bees to fertilize new queens, and some 20,000 to 40,000 worker bees.[13] The worker bees raise larvae and collect the nectar that will become honey in the hive. They go out, collect the sugar-rich flower nectar and return to the hive. As they leave the flower, bees release Nasonov pheromones. These enable other bees to find their way to the site by smell.[14] Honeybees also release Nasonov pheromones at the entrance to the hive, which enables returning bees to return to the proper hive.[14] In the hive the bees use their "honey stomachs" to ingest and regurgitate the nectar a number of times until it is partially digested.
