This special Web companion to NATURE’S miniseries takes you into the bizarre, fascinating world of insects with amazing graphics. Read the articles to learn more about how insects reproduce, live together in society, migrate, and battle for survival.
Show 1, “Hardware & Replicators,” takes a close look at insect design and examines their reproductive strategies. Show 2, “Battlezone & Metropolis” focuses on the constant war that insects wage for food and the complex habitats and social relationships they create. And Show 3, “Voyagers & War of the Worlds,” charts insect migration and explores the ways insects and humans wage war — and occasionally cooperate.

Bees are four-winged, flower-feeding insects. They have enlarged hind feet, branched or feathered body hairs, and generally a stinger. Honeybees and bumblebees are the most common. Bumblebees are larger and stronger than honeybees. Bees are beneficial insects because they produce honey and pollinate crops. I find bees to fascinating and quite admirable insects.✿✿✿ -Zandeleigh✿
hate to tell you this but if they are in your compost bin .. you have ether wasp ,yellow jackets ,, hornets ,, or they are bumblebees .. but they are NOT honey bees .. so be careful cause they can sting you more then once ,,, a honey bee can only sting once and then they die with in a min..
you guys give me the creeps,
I’m a lover of insects but i hate bees, wasp spiders and anything that stings. But I still sometimes find insects buggy!
