*THE HARDWORKING BEES*

FadilahSep 23 2021

Do you know, these buzzing bees are really important and beneficial for us, humans and nature.But have you ever tasted the appetizing honey? Well, I am pretty sure you have. This honey is made with hard work which is sometimes a lot and sometimes really less.

Bees leave their hive and migrate at different distances for various reasons.

For example, for nectar, pollen or a water source.

Having such knowledge of how far they could travel for any of

these reasons is a crucial factor to consider when getting a healthier hive.

DISTANCE OF A BEE COLLECTING NECTAR

*Bees are known to fly as far as 12 km (8 miles) in search of FOOD.

*A foraging honey bee can fly 4 miles and beyond to collect pollen and nectar.

*Bees may fly long distances in search of food and may be quite far from home when they are seen in your yard or neighbourhood.

Do Human Activities Affect a Bee’s Traveling Plans?

To know how far bees travel for food and water, you have to be aware of the external factors that affect them negatively. For instance, the use of pesticides that contain neonicotinoids(Neonicotinoids are a new class of insecticides chemically related to nicotine. The name literally means “new nicotine-like insecticides”.) tends to inhibit the natural behavior and flight pattern of a bee. It also greatly affects their ability to forage for pollen, nectar and water.

EFM and radiation from our technology cause harm to the bees. They interfere with the natural compasses of the bees, making it hard for them to travel precisely and safely. The situation is just as bad for the bees as it is for us — it fast-tracks the damage to the agricultural landscape and food supply.

EFM stands for Electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) involves the use of an electronic fetal heart rate (FHR) monitor to record the baby's heart rate.

Most species of bees have their own defined traveling range for food and a water source. In ideal conditions, some can fly long distances, like the honeybees and bumblebees. Others, such as solitary bees, fly shorter distances due to energy constraints and safety factors.

When the conditions aren’t so favorable, their flying distances shorten. This could be because of the weather, availability of food and human activities, such
