🐝 Every hive has guard bees, but not all workers will take on this role. Those bees that do serve time as guards will generally do it when they are between 14 and 20 days old. They guard against intruders and can bite, sting and call for back-up by releasing alarm pheromones if needed. #honeybee #bee #safe #honey #protect #beekeeping #beekeeper #homeiswheremyhiveis | Home is where my Hive is
