Feeding a large number of young bees is a huge workload for the bees. During thespring and summer in a strong family queen lays about 200,000 eggs for the educationof them the same number of working bees, the family should spend about 20 kg and 16 kg of honey pollen. To collect the appropriate amount of flower nectar: pollen and the bees should fly from the hive for at least 4 million times. If one considers that just a year, the family of bees spend all their needs (food, warmth, flights and other works) not less than 100 kg of honey and 20 kg of pollen, the amount of work to collect nectar and pollenwill increase by at least 5-6 times. No wonder that under such a load of the worker beesin the summer quickly wear out and die at the age of 35-50 days.
