Hi guys!
Today I came to share with you these beautiful pictures I took of bees!
I took it with my iPhone 7, using only the zoom.
In my pattern's house there are several lavenders, a flower with a very good smell. There were several bees around it, so I decided to take some pictures, the result was really cool (or, the result was sensational).

This is a European bee, they measure around 12mm to 13mm in length and have darker chest hairs.
I brought some curiosities about these bees, they I didn't know and I often found it unbelievable! So I came to share them with you.
first, a queen bee lives on average up to two years, while workers live only a month and a half! Short life of these workers, isn't it?
And in a hive there are about 50,000 bees, but among them only one queen! There are several bees in just one hive!
Another curiosity that I didn't know is that they choose the nectar from the flowers with their tongue and keep them in a bag located at the back of their throat! Then only after returning to the hive, will they pass the nectar from bee to bee. In this, the water evaporates and the nectar thickens, turning into honey! Only one bee produces 5 grams of honey per year, to produce 1 kilo, bees need to visit 5 million flowers, on average 50 to 1000 average flowers per day and per bee!
Lastly, its wings beat 180 times per second!

Do you know any of these curiosities? Know anything else?

Oii pessoal!
Hoje vim compartilhar com vocês essas belas fotos que tirei de abelhas!
Tirei com o meu celular iPhone 7, utilizando somente o zoom.
Na casa de meu padrão há várias lavandas, uma flor com um cheiro muito bom. Havia várias abelhas em sua volta, então resolvi tirar umas fotos, o resultado ficou muito legal (ou, o resultado ficou sensacional).

Essa é uma abelha-europeia, elas medem em torno de 12mm a 13mm de comprimento e apresentam os pelos do tórax mais escuro.
Trouxe algumas curiosidades sobre essas abelhas, muitas delas eu não sabia e quando pesquisei achei inacreditável! Então vim compartilha-las com vocês.
Primeiramente, uma abelha rainha vive em média até dois anos, enquanto as operárias vivem somente um mês e meio! Pouco tempo de vida dessas operárias não é?
E em uma colmeia abriga cerca de 50mil abelhas, mas entre elas somente uma rainha! São várias abelhas em apenas uma colmeia!
Outra curiosidade que eu não sabia, é que elas recolhem o néctar das flores com a língua e os guarda em uma bolsa localizada no funda da garganta! Então somente após voltarem a colmeia, passam o néctar de abelha para abelha. Nisso, a água evapora e o néctar engrossa, se transformando em mel! Somente uma abelha produz em média 5 gramas de mel por ano, para produzir 1 quilo, as abelhas precisam visitar 5 milhões de flores, em média 50 a 1000 flores por dia e por abelha!
Por último, suas asas batem 180 vezes por segundo!

Vocês conheciam algumas dessas curiosidades? Sabem de mais alguma?

Hello @riansilva, I have learned a lot about arthropods, thanks to this community. For example, these bees were brought to America from Europe. I have also learned that they go out in hot weather to look for water and carry droplets on their legs towards the hive to cool it down. Beautiful pictures, congratulations.
