Beehives



Hear in my review I will give you some information
about beehives and what they are met for. You
will learn a little of these beehives throughout
my review. Beehives are small huts for bees where
they produce honey and younger bees. Many
farmers make a living off of beehives because they
can make lots and lots of honey. Bees
make their honey from pollen. Pollen is very
sweet and it comes from plants. Bees store
this pollen in these hexagon holes which have a
shape of a tablet which is called a honeycomb.
Once the pollen is stored the bees liquefy the pollen
with their mouths and turn it into honey. Many
farmers have to destroy some of their beehives
to keep the bee population down so that they do not
spread any diseases and kill the crops. Beehives
can be made out of straw, clay or wood. It
must feel good to eat your own honey out of
your own hive. Maybe if we like bees we can
buy a hive and the bees to make honey and we
can sell the honey for money that must be a good
living if many people love honey. Bees only
come to the hive in the spring and summer
because those are the only times of the year
that the plants have pollen. Bees do not live
in the fall nor the winter because it's
to cold. Bees only live for a few weeks they
do not live very long. We must than wait till
next year to see those honey makers again.
