For a few weeks, I've been learning how to write explanations. My success criteria was to use a diagram, label my diagram and explain my diagram. I enjoyed researching information because it was easy.
I found it challenging to make my writing make sense.
Next time I would work faster on my writing.
What is bee balling?
Bee balling is when the bees surround the imposter or a queen bee that doesn’t lay eggs anymore.
Firstly, the bees slowly form a ball around an imposter or a queen bee that can’t lay eggs. When there are enough bees the ball slowly warms up and the body temperature of the bee inside the ball gets really hot and dies.
They do this to protect their honey. They also do it because the queen bee doesn’t serve a purpose in the hive anymore.
Lastly, when the queen has died a new queen starts and they go in a continuous life cycle.
Did you know that bees sting other bees and if a queen bee meets another queen they fight to death to see who can survive.
