Honey bees are broken up into three categories: workers, queens, and drones. They are easily recognized because of their black and yellow stripes, furry exterior and buzzing sound.Size: 1/2 to 5/8 of an inch long, but queens are much larger, almost 3/4 of an inch long
Color: Yellow-brown to black
Activity/Behavior: Honey bees use the stinger at the end of their abdomen when they feel threatened. They use their tongues to eat the nectar from the flowers. Their legs transport the pollen from flower to flower. They also produce honey and honey combs from their secretions.
Where They Live: Bees may swarm (which happens when the queen fails or there are too many in the hive) on a branch, but that will only last 24-48 hours. Honey bees like to stay in sheltered areas such as hollowed trees, bee hives, hollow walls, or attics.
Tips for Control: It is advised that, because of the danger of the stingers, bee hives be respected at a safe distance.
