 Head of queen bee and worker bee is triangular while that of drone bee is anterio posteriorly flattened in all
the three caste. The head consists of :-
 EYES
Seeing apparatus consists of compound eyes and 3 small simple eyes called ocelli.
Compound eye made of light sensitive cells called ommatida.
FUNCTION- Compound eye – distinguish light and colour and to detect directional information from sun rays
Simple eyes – determine amount of light present in environment.
EYES OF WORKER & QUEEN BEE EYES OF DRONE BEE
Compound eyes do not meet at the
vertex.
Compound eyes are large, black,
kidney-shaped and unite at the top
head.
 ANTENNAE
Pair of sensitive receptors placed in socket like membrane in head.
FUNCTION- Feel or to touch and to smell , thus guides the honey bee
Also measure flight speed.
 MANDIBLES
Pair of jaws suspended from head and parts of the bee’s mouth
FUNCTION- Help to eat the pollen , cut and shape the wax, clean the hive,
groom themselves and fight. Thus, act as grasping instrument.
 PROBOSCIS / TONGUE
FUNCTION- Help in drinking water or lapping nectar, honey.
Exchange of food between the bees.
It is a temporary organ formed by assembling parts of maxillae and the
labium .
It is released only when required to draw liquids such as nectar,
water, honey and sweet juices.
 Armour plated mid section of honey bee.
 Composed of 4 segments namely prothorax, mesothorax, metathorax and propodium.
 It supports 3 pair of legs and 2 pair of wings.
 Thus, thorax acts as the locomotory organ of honey bee.
 LEGS
Each pair jointed into six segments with a pair of claws at the tip to help
the insect to cling to surfaces. The three section of legs are:
i. FORELEG / PROTHORACIC LEGS- 3 important structures present on it are :-
a. Eye brush- constituted by hairs on tibia
b. Antennae cleaner- further consists of vellum/ fibula & antenna comb
c. Pollen brush- bristles on basitarsus form pollen brush.
ii. MIDDLE LEGS/ MESOTHORACIC LEGS- 2 important structures are:-
a. Pollen brush- formed by stiff hairs on basitarsus , collect pollen from mid body parts.
b. Tibial spur- movable spur present at distal end of tibia, loosen pollen pellets
from pollen basket on hind legs and clean wings and spiracles.
iii. HIND LEGS/ METATHORACIC LEGS – 3 important structures are:-
a. Pollen basket/ corbicula- enable bee to carry loads of pollen and propolis.
b. Pollen packer / pollen press- consists of pecten ( row of stout bristles at
distal end of tibia) and auricle ( small plate fringed with hairs at basal end ).
c. Pollen comb
 WINGS
It is 2 layered, born on mesothoracic and metathoracic segment.
It function in worker bee is both flight and ventilating the hive.
2 types of wings in honey bee are:-
i. FOREWING – larger than hind wing and used for flight and cooling mechanism.
ii. HINDWING- at times attach with forewings by hooks called hamuli to work together.
 Adult honey bee has 9 segment whereas the larva has 10 segments.
 First abdominal segment fused with metathorax and known as propodium.
 Second abdominal segment is constricted and is called petiole / pedicel.
 Subsequent segments are known as gaster.
 A pair of wax glands are present underside of 4th -7th segments.
 Scent gland present in between 6th – 7th segment meant for communication.
 2 important organs present on the abdomen are the sting and spiracles.
 STING
It is modified ovipositor and serves as instrument of defence.
 SPIRACLE
Breathing pores present on sides of thorax and abdomen .

Morphology of Honey Bee

  • 1.
  • 2.
  • 3.  Head of queen bee and worker bee is triangular while that of drone bee is anterio posteriorly flattened in all the three caste. The head consists of :-  EYES Seeing apparatus consists of compound eyes and 3 small simple eyes called ocelli. Compound eye made of light sensitive cells called ommatida. FUNCTION- Compound eye – distinguish light and colour and to detect directional information from sun rays Simple eyes – determine amount of light present in environment. EYES OF WORKER & QUEEN BEE EYES OF DRONE BEE Compound eyes do not meet at the vertex. Compound eyes are large, black, kidney-shaped and unite at the top head.
  • 4.  ANTENNAE Pair of sensitive receptors placed in socket like membrane in head. FUNCTION- Feel or to touch and to smell , thus guides the honey bee Also measure flight speed.  MANDIBLES Pair of jaws suspended from head and parts of the bee’s mouth FUNCTION- Help to eat the pollen , cut and shape the wax, clean the hive, groom themselves and fight. Thus, act as grasping instrument.  PROBOSCIS / TONGUE FUNCTION- Help in drinking water or lapping nectar, honey. Exchange of food between the bees. It is a temporary organ formed by assembling parts of maxillae and the labium . It is released only when required to draw liquids such as nectar, water, honey and sweet juices.
  • 5.  Armour plated mid section of honey bee.  Composed of 4 segments namely prothorax, mesothorax, metathorax and propodium.  It supports 3 pair of legs and 2 pair of wings.  Thus, thorax acts as the locomotory organ of honey bee.  LEGS Each pair jointed into six segments with a pair of claws at the tip to help the insect to cling to surfaces. The three section of legs are: i. FORELEG / PROTHORACIC LEGS- 3 important structures present on it are :- a. Eye brush- constituted by hairs on tibia b. Antennae cleaner- further consists of vellum/ fibula & antenna comb c. Pollen brush- bristles on basitarsus form pollen brush.
  • 6.
  • 7. ii. MIDDLE LEGS/ MESOTHORACIC LEGS- 2 important structures are:- a. Pollen brush- formed by stiff hairs on basitarsus , collect pollen from mid body parts. b. Tibial spur- movable spur present at distal end of tibia, loosen pollen pellets from pollen basket on hind legs and clean wings and spiracles. iii. HIND LEGS/ METATHORACIC LEGS – 3 important structures are:- a. Pollen basket/ corbicula- enable bee to carry loads of pollen and propolis. b. Pollen packer / pollen press- consists of pecten ( row of stout bristles at distal end of tibia) and auricle ( small plate fringed with hairs at basal end ). c. Pollen comb  WINGS It is 2 layered, born on mesothoracic and metathoracic segment. It function in worker bee is both flight and ventilating the hive. 2 types of wings in honey bee are:- i. FOREWING – larger than hind wing and used for flight and cooling mechanism. ii. HINDWING- at times attach with forewings by hooks called hamuli to work together.
  • 8.  Adult honey bee has 9 segment whereas the larva has 10 segments.  First abdominal segment fused with metathorax and known as propodium.  Second abdominal segment is constricted and is called petiole / pedicel.  Subsequent segments are known as gaster.  A pair of wax glands are present underside of 4th -7th segments.  Scent gland present in between 6th – 7th segment meant for communication.  2 important organs present on the abdomen are the sting and spiracles.  STING It is modified ovipositor and serves as instrument of defence.  SPIRACLE Breathing pores present on sides of thorax and abdomen .
