GC6JEJX BeBe's CO Colony Expansion (Traditional Cache) in Colorado, United States created by Hives

This cache has been archived.

Hives: This area appears to have become a homeless hangout and the main beacon is being destroyed. Based on this I am archiving the cache. Thanks to all that visited. Perhaps it can become a hiding spot some time in the future.

Geocache Description:

BeBe is enlisting the aid of other Worker Bees to help establish her colony in CO.

A worker bee is any female bee that lacks the full reproductive capacity of the colony's queen bee; under most circumstances, this is correlated to an increase in certain non-reproductive activities relative to a queen, as well. Worker bees occur in many bee species other than honey bees, but this is by far the most familiar colloquial use of the term. Workers gather pollen into the pollen baskets on their back legs, to carry back to the hive where it is used as food for the developing brood. Pollen carried on their bodies may be carried to another flower where a small portion can rub off onto the pistil, resulting in cross pollination. Almost all of civilization's food supply (maize is a noteworthy exception) depends greatly on crop pollination by honey bees, whether directly eaten or used as forage crops for animals that produce milk and meat. Nectar is sucked up through the proboscis, mixed with enzymes in the stomach, and carried back to the hive, where it is stored in wax cells and evaporated into honey.
