The enemies of Bees

Hi in this post I am going to talk about the enemies of bees.
Firstly we have the Honey Bee they steal the honey of the bees.

Secondly we have the Death's Head Hawk Moththis moth flies into bee hives in the dark at night and lick their honey with its long tongue.

Thirdly we have the Blister Beetle Grub it ambushes bees when they are picking pollen in a flower and hitches a free ride back to their hive where they will hide in their cells and eat the grubs of the bees.

Fourth the mouse is another animal who steals honey but their bodies are hard to move so the bees cover them with gum from trees and also to stop them from stinking

Fiftth is the Humans they want their honey to eat and bee's wax to make candles

Lastly is the Cuckoo Bee they look like bees but once they are inside they will lay their eggs in the hive
