Beekeeping and Bee Behavior

The video tutorial discusses the challenges and practices of beekeeping, focusing on the importance of bees for pollination and honey production. It highlights the issue of colony collapse disorder and its impact on the food supply. The video also explains bee swarming behavior and the necessity of managing swarms to maintain resources like honey and wax. The tutorial emphasizes the need for strong, healthy beehives to ensure the survival of bees amidst various threats.

What is the relationship between bees and fruiting plants?

• Bees eat the fruit.

• Bees and fruiting plants are independent.

• Bees pollinate fruiting plants.

• Fruiting plants protect bees.

What phenomenon has caused honey bees to disappear in recent years?

• Climate change

• Pesticide resistance

• To escape predators

• To find more food

• To populate new areas

What do bees do when they are 'acting swarmy'?

• To avoid bee diseases

What is the consequence of not having enough beehives ready for swarming?

• Decreased honey quality

• More frequent swarming

• Loss of potential resources

• Increased bee aggression
