Honey bees live in colonies of 50,000-60,000 bees. They have three body parts - a head, thorax, and abdomen. Bees collect both nectar and pollen from flowers - nectar is collected and stored in the honey stomach while pollen adheres to the bee's legs. It takes 21 days for a worker bee, 24 days for a drone bee, and 16 days for a queen bee to develop from an egg. Beekeepers care for honey bee colonies.
