In medieval times, women were not appreciated at all. The destiny of the woman was to give birth to children, to clean the house, to cook food. However, in nature everything is somewhat different.
Males are most often needed only to fertilize the female. And the bee family is no exception.
Bees hatch drones only in the summer, but in winter they don’t need drones, because they eat a lot, but there is no sense in them.
Closer to autumn, when the honey collection is already completed, and the bee family is preparing for wintering, drones are expelled from the family. And it all starts with the fact that the bees drive out drones to the walls of the hive on honey frames.
The drone, as you know, cannot eat on its own: it is fed by bees. It turns out a paradoxical situation, they are sitting on fodder stocks, but they are starving to death.
But even this is not enough for bees, so those drones that still managed to survive are pulled by their wings and legs, and literally pushed out of the entrance into the street, thereby condemning them to starvation and cold death.
It is naive to believe that all beings on the planet live due to nature, in fact this does not happen thanks, but in spite of. If you are weak, useless, or simply not needed by your relatives, you will die! If you are not able to feed yourself, death is also.
If you think that this is where all the troubles of the drone end, then this is far from the case. Even during his life, he has a hard time. The drone never mates with the uterus inside the hive.
The uterus flies to the so-called nuptial flight, this happens only once in her life, but from 8 to 15 drones fertilize her. It flies at high speed, approximately 69 km / h. At an altitude of 15 to 35 m. And the drones, endowed with nature with excellent eyesight and smell, are able to smell the flight of the uterus for several kilometers.
Having noticed the uterus, the drones rush after it, forming something similar to a comet. Strong individuals are in front, and weak ones are weaving in the tail. After fertilization of the uterus, the genital organ of the drone remains in itand the drone itself falls dead to the ground.
Yes and beekeepers treat drones badly, mercilessly cutting the brood brood, naively believing at the same time that they would save honey for themselves.
Compared to bees that are naturally endowed with a sting, drone insect harmless. He has no sting, so he can be picked up without fear.
By nature, drone is a lazy creature. From his very birth he does nothing, except that 1 hour a day flies out of the hive in search of the uterus, and if you did not find it, it comes back.
Bees willingly feed drones when they need them. If a bee flies into someone else’s hive, they will most likely kill it. The drone will be received in any hive with joy.
In prosperous bee families with a young fetal uterus, there is less drone. And the less prosperous have more. Bees feel that their uterus is old and it’s time to change it, and for successful mating, drones will be needed.
But in humans everything happens approximately the same. When a woman is in search of a man, she preens in every possible way, changes her hairstyle, keeps an eye on her figure, and often changes her clothing style. In general, all his appearance is trying to please men. And when a man is found, passions in this direction subside somewhat.
So why the bee family drone?
In addition to fertilization of the uterus, he heats the brood, participates in the general metabolism. The presence of a drone in the summer, calms the bees, they feel the fullness of their family. In other words, from this completely harmless insect there are only pluses. It is a pity that his sisters did not appreciate it for long.
