2023年8月6日 · Discover the natural habitats of bees, including forests, grasslands, and meadows. Learn about their nests and hives, urban beekeeping options like rooftop hives and community gardens, and how bees thrive in agriculture.

They can live in natural habitats, agricultural areas, and urban parks or gardens. Their preferred habitats include orchards, meadows, gardens, woodlands, and virtually anywhere with plenty of flowers growing. Honey bees are also capable of surviving in cold climates, and thermoregulate by huddling within the nest.
