The mouthparts of bees are chewing and sucking, feeding pollen and nectar. The mouth of bees has a straw, which is usually curled up, straightened when used, and inserted into the stamen to suck pollen and nectar.
The food habits of bees can be divided into 3 categories:
1. Polyphagous, that is, harvested from plants of different families or from flowers of a certain color (not limited to plant species)
2. Oligophagous, that is, feeding on flowers of plants of related families and genera, such as alfalfa quasi-bees.
3. Monophagous, that is, feeding only from a certain plant or related species, such as the cornflower ground bee. The flowers interviewed by various types of bees are closely related to the length of their mouthparts: for example, the species with shorter mouthparts, such as Tunnelidae, Geophytidae, and Diglossidae, interview Rosaceae, Cruciferae, Umbelliferae, and Ranunculaceae. For the species of Cutter Bee, Stripe Bee and Bee Family, because of their longer mouthparts, we interviewed the flowers with deep flower tubes such as Leguminosae and Labiatae.
Of course, in addition to pollen and nectar, bees can also eat other foods. For example, when bees are raised in captivity, beekeepers will feed the bees with syrup. However, syrup does not contain the nutrients found in pollen and honey. So, beekeepers started feeding bees with bee feed containing the nutrients they need. For example, one of WeiPeng's products, "Fengxi Pollen Patty", is rich in all kinds of nutrients needed by bees, such as protein, vitamins, amino acids, minerals, multivitamins, etc. It is an ideal bee feed.
