Why do bees come back wherever they fly?

First: the way bees know a place.

For bees, bees want to know a place, mainly by recognizing the nest test flight to identify, that is to say, as long as the bees have flown to the place, the bees have memories of these places, these places are not unfamiliar to the bees, but familiar with the environment, if we are in the process of moving the bees, the bees just go to these places, because the bees still remember the original location, so the bees will still return to the original position. And this kind of place is relatively not a strange environment for bees, but a familiar environment.

Second: geographical location.

For the bee to recognize the nest test flight, the purpose of the bee to recognize the nest test flight is that the bee can return to the nest smoothly when collecting honey, then the geographical location is relatively important for the bee, generally speaking, the mountain belongs to the three-dimensional honey source, relatively speaking, the honey source is a little more, the bee can fly a short distance to collect enough honey source when the honey nest test flight, and the mountainous terrain is complex, it is more difficult for the bee to recognize these routes, and the plain area is open due to the geographical location, The way for bees to find the original location of the hive through the test flight of the bee is relatively simple, so the range of bee activity is generally smaller in mountainous areas, but it is wider in plain areas.

Third: the influence of the nectar source.

For bees, bees also know how to save time, in the case of sufficient honey source, bees are unwilling to collect honey from a distance, which will inevitably increase the burden of bee honey collection, and also has an impact on the yield of honey, so when the nearby honey source of breeding bees is sufficient, the range of bee activities will be reduced, and in the case of insufficient honey source, bees will naturally expand the range of activities and increase the production of honey in order to be able to collect nectar.

How big is the range of bees? In fact, this problem is more complicated, through the above three questions we can find that in fact, it is difficult for us to accurately determine the range of bee activities, generally there is only one reference value, that is, the bee activity range in the beekeeping industry, generally speaking, the range of bees in the plains is about 5 kilometers, and the mountainous areas are generally about 3 kilometers, as a reference, beyond this range, it is a strange environment in the actual sense of bees. Therefore, the so-called bees can return to their original homes when they arrive in an unfamiliar environment, the main reason is that the unfamiliar environment that bees arrive in is actually not beyond the scope of bees' activities, and for bees, these environments are familiar and not unfamiliar.

Bees learn to orient like pilots. Before collecting honey at a distance of 10 kilometres from the hive, the bees learn to fly along a more complex route that is farther away from the hive.

The researchers equipped more than 600 young bees with miniature radar transmitters and placed them in a colony of more than 10,000 bees to track their movements. The researchers found that the young bees initially flew in a straight line from the hive outward. After flying to a distance of 10 to 30 meters, it will turn around and fly back along the same route.

For 3 weeks before the start of honey harvesting, the bees fly along a longer route in order to familiarize themselves with the ground markings. The researchers found that bees flew higher the longer the direction they flew by, which apparently helped them feel close to the hive. From the bee's point of view, the higher the flight is likely to mean that the terrain is more unclear, and the closer to the ground the higher the flight near the hive, the clearer the terrain will be.

Researchers have long been interested in the ability of bees to fly long distances, apparently using the position of the sun and surface features as positioning markers.

It won't come back, this kind of bee won't come back if it flies away, and the few bees that are left are because they can't fly for the time being, so they stay in the hive.

Hehe, 100% won't come back, not even other wild bees. Because since the bees have chosen to flee, one thing is certain, that is, the current environment is not suitable for them. Maybe it's a lack of honey, maybe it's disturbed, or in short, the environment is not suitable for bees.

Will come back because that's their home, their little friends and relatives are still at home, waiting for them, they just went out to work.

No, I have to run away several boxes of bees every year.

The bees will fly back to the old place for a day.

It generally takes about 2 days for bees to change places to be stable, but only if they are beehives.

There should be no odor inside, and there should be a suitable environment and nectar source for bees nearby. In addition, a small number of spleens can also be transferred, which can promote the newly harvested bees to quickly stabilize in the hive.

Basic introduction. Returning bees are worker bees when a colony is artificially relocated.

The phenomenon of going to the original nest is that the new worker bees will recognize the nest in advance before leaving the nest to work outside the nest, and when they return to the nest, they can find the hive according to the location and accurate signs of memory. Under normal circumstances, worker bees that have already recognized their nests will basically not recognize their nests again, but under special circumstances such as natural bee separation, worker bees that have recognized their nests will also re-recognize their nests.

Returning bees is a normal phenomenon driven by the instinct of worker bees, generally when the number of bees is small, no treatment can be done, but if the amount of bees is large, it should be dealt with in time to avoid weakening the colony.

The easiest way is to merge the worker bees back into the colony again, and then block the hive door and wait for the worker bees to bite open and re-recognize the nest, and the original hive should also be covered with branches and other things.

Summary. Under normal circumstances, there is only one queen bee in each bee colony, and the queen bee controls the entire bee colony with queen bee substances in the bee colony, when we need to replace the queen bee, if the queen bee material of the previous queen bee is still full of the bee colony, in fact, the bees in the bee colony do not regard such a bee colony as a lost queen group, and will not accept a new queen bee, or the queen bee we put into the bee colony, the smell is different from the smell of the bee colony, and it will also lead to the phenomenon that the worker bees in the bee colony do not accept the queen bee, or even besiege the queen bee. At this time, the queen bee may be besieged and killed by the worker bees, or run out of the nest.

The queen bee didn't come when the bees fled, will they come back?

Under normal circumstances, there is only one queen bee in each bee colony, and the queen bee controls the entire bee colony with queen bee substances in the bee colony, when we need to replace the queen bee, if the queen bee material of the previous queen bee is still full of the bee colony, in fact, the bees in the bee colony do not regard such a bee colony as a lost queen group, and will not accept a new queen bee, or the queen bee we put into the bee colony, the smell is different from the smell of the bee colony, and it will also lead to the phenomenon that the worker bees in the bee colony do not accept the queen bee, or even besiege the queen bee. At this time, the queen bee may be besieged and killed by the worker bees, or run out of the nest.

If the bee has occurred naturally or fled, in the case of not taking away the queen bee, the bee group will soon fly back, but if it is in the afternoon when the bee or flight occurs, the queen bee did not take away, and the bee fails, some bees may not have time to return to the nest, will stay in the wild, this situation depends on the distance of the flight, if the distance is relatively close, most of the side can fly back, if the distance is relatively far, not beyond the range of activities of the worker bees, the general flight can still fly back.

Have a great day.
