How to bees form there hives and what is that outer stuff that look s like spider web on it.?

The wax that they use is secreted from glands on their bellies.  Don't know what the spider web stuff is you refer to, perhaps spiders which do sometimes spin webs in the area near hives. Beekeepers with commercial hives are always attentive to the possibility that a black-widow may have set up house-keeping on the pallet or hive stand for hives.

Actually, in the social hymenoptera (bees, wasps, and ants) the workers in any colony will all be the DAUGHTERS of the queen.  They are all female.\n\nIn most species, the workers are sterile, and cannot produce their own offspring.  In some of the more 'primitive' species, like Pharaoh ants, the workers can become fertile and can move off to form their own colonies if there is stress on the mother hive - each one becoming a queen.  In many of the more 'advanced' social hymenoptera, the ovipositor (the structure used for laying eggs) becomes modified in the workers into a stinger, since it is no longer needed for egg laying.  The stinger of the honeybee, which is barbed and rips out after stinging is the most derived form of this, but stingers can be found in many wasps, and even ants.\n\nThe males of the hives, known as drones in most social insects have no stinger, because they never had an ovipositor.  The number of males in a hive varies depending on the species.  In some species the drones are indolent wastrels, hanging out in the hive doing nothing just waiting for the call to come perform some sweet sweet lovin' for the queen.  In most species, the males also forage, going out and drinking nectar and the like, but because their numbers are much lower than the worker females of the hive and they don't have the specialized structures such as pollen baskets, their contribution is not as significant.\n\nIn most hives, the number of males is around 10 to 15% of the total population.\n\nMale honeybees can be identified by their long, cylindrical bodies in comparison with the workers, and their two very large compound eyes that nearly meet up on the top of their head.\n\nBecause they are pretty much a drain on the resources, and not required for short-term survival, the males are often kicked out of the hive when food becomes scarce, or when winter begins to draw near.\n\nWithout looking at the genitalia of the ant in question, it may be difficult to determine if it is a drone or not.  If it has wings it is either a queen or a male.  In many ants, the male has a smaller head and larger eyes, but I'm not sure if that applies in all ants or not.

Honeybee life cycle\n\n\nHoneybees are social insects that live in a colony. As such, the honeybee life cycle depends greatly on this social structure.\n\n \nHoneybee swarm pitched on a high limb[edit]\nColony life\nUnlike a bumble bee colony or a wasp colony the life of the honeybee colony is perennial. There are three castes of bees: queens, which produce eggs; drones or males, which mate with the queen and have no stinger; and workers, which are all non-reproducing females. The queen lays eggs singly in cells of the comb. Larvae hatch from eggs in 3 to 4 days and are fed by worker bees and develop through several stages in the cells. Cells are capped by worker bees when the larvae pupates. Queen and drones are larger than workers and require enlarged cells to develop. A colony may typically consists of tens of thousands of individuals.\n\nDevelopment\nQueens complete development in 15.5 days, drones in 24 days and workers in 21 days for larvae and pupae stages. Only one queen is usually present in a hive. New virgin queens develop in enlarged cells through differential feeding of royal jelly by workers. When the existing queen ages or dies or the colony becomes very large a new queen is raised by the worker bees. The virgin queen takes one or several nuptial flights and once she is established starts laying eggs in the hive. A fertile queen is able to lay fertilized or unfertilized eggs. The unfertilized eggs develop into drones and the fertilized eggs develop into either workers or virgin queens. A queen may live three to five years; drones usually die before winter; and, workers may live for a few months.

Don't jump to conclusions. The simplest answer is usually correct. \n\nMy assumption is that you were probably bitten by the deadly black-tarantula. To the bee, your foot, swollen to gigantic proportions and bright red with infection, resembled a flower. It tried to gather nectar, but ended up with a nose-full of spider-venom and died.

From the behavior of bees. When a bee finds nectar it returns to the hive and displays to the other bees the direction of the find. The other bees then 'make a beeline' for it.

it depends on what sort of nutrition an ant hive is lacking.  sugar provides quick energy and nutrition for adult workers, but doesn't provide enough fats and protein for a hive that is tending a new brood of larvae.\n\ncheese is a good source of fats and protein, and also contains some sugar.  it is also more aromatic than most sugars, and so the ants can detect it from farther away.\n\npeanut butter is another good all purpose bait to use for ants, and also for almost all mammals.

Spider Web Basics\n\nDifferent spiders weave different types of webs. Spiders can get caught in spiderwebs, sometimes even their own webs! However, you won’t see it very often because they’re careful with their feet. The tips of a spider’s legs are oily. That helps keep them from getting stuck on their sticky webbing. Also, a spider’s web has two different kinds of silk on it. One kind is sticky and one is not. The spider avoids walking on the sticky webbing.\n \nAfter a night’s use, a spider’s web may become damaged. The spider then removes the silk in the morning, leaving only the first bridge line. Sometimes they eat their old webs to conserve silk and to make use of the nutrients of any tiny insects caught in the web. After a daytime rest, the spider constructs a new web in the evening. If the spider’s catch was low and the web was not heavily damaged, the spider may reuse the web after making repairs.

Bees live on their honey during the winter.  Many other insects do die, but only after laying eggs that will hatch in the spring.\n\nCheck this out:  http://www.uky.edu/Ag/Entomology/ythfacts/allyr/yf806.htm

the honey is food for the bee larvae. the bees themselves don't eat it. By nature bees are carnivores. Just look and an expired animal sometime. They harvest the nectar from the flower, condense it and vomit up the condensed nectar hence honey.

I do not think it is true as stated.  The data I have explored indicates that bees do not travel anywhere near that far in search of pollen, which they collect to form into honey.  However it might be possible that a bee flies that far in their lifetime collecting honey, however over a very small area by comparison.

miapia87 is incorrect...bees dont eat other insects...they consume nectar...the sting that they have is for defense...and when they sting...the whole stinger and part of the abdomen will come off...that is why bees die after they've stung something...bees usually need to defend the nest from other queen bees who try to overthrow the dominant queen...and also from wasps and hornets...these insects do eat other bugs...anyway wasps and hornets don't die once they've sting you...they are more vicious than bees...their venoms are more potent...and...they can sting you again and again...so please avoid them...at all cost!!!

If you look at the upper surface of the abdomen of a carpenter bee, you will see that it is hairless, black and shiny, while a bumble bee will hairy or at least have some yellow markings.\n\nBumble bees usually nest in the ground while carpenter bees tunnel into wood to make their nests.  Carpenter bees prefer bare, unpainted or weathered softwoods, especially redwood, cedar, cypress or pine.\n\nAfter mating in the spring, the female will lay their eggs in a series of small cells, each egg wrapped in a leaf with a ball of pollen for food.  The tunnels in the wood are perfectly round and about the diameter of your finger.\n\nOver the years, they can do considerable damage to wooden structures.\n\nKeeping wood painted and well maintained is probably the best way to keep carpenter bees at bay.\n\nFemale carpenter bees are not terribly aggressive, and will only sting if extremely provoked.  Male carpenter bees can be quite aggressive, flying into people's faces and even hovering directly in front of them, but fortunately they are completely harmless and have no stinger.

Miner and Carpenter.\n\nMiner - Miner bees are one of many familiar black and yellow summertime solitary bees often mistaken for bumble bees. They do not collect honey nor do they sting.  Miner bee populations can be enhanced by providing dried mud blocks for nesting.\nhttp://www.moraybeekeepers.co.uk/solitary_bees.htm\n\nCarpenter - Carpenter bees get their common name from their habit of boring into wood to make galleries for the rearing of their young.♥\nhttp://www.killfireants.com/carpenter-bees.htm\n\n(>>Have a look, bee can be a doctor too:<<)\nhttp://www.londonstimes.us/toons/cartoons/display.html?image=fall_BEEDOCTOR.jpg

They know which strands are the sticky ones and which aren't.  I think it's impossible for a spider to stick in its own web.\n\nhttp://arachnophiliac.co.uk/burrow/whydoesnt.htm

You need to collect workers and some very young larvae (grubs) so that the workers can feed the babies the special food (in bees it's called royal jelly) that makes them turn into queens.

The bee's knees means the best. \n\nThe term is thought to come from the fact that bees store honey in small sacks behind their knees as they gather it to be brought back to the nest. \n\nHowever, another theory is that it comes from the B's and E's, as in the be all and end all.

Well, the picture doesn't give a good sense of scale, but it looks like a wolf spider.  There are many varieties of Wolf spider, and they can be found all over North America.  Their bites can be painful (like a bee sting), but are otherwise harmless.
