A lot of honey bees were buzzing around our garden and Shashu was observing them work tirelessly. He thus came up with his next question, Do bees ever sleep ma? Bees do take a break and sleep. There are three types of bees, namely, the Queen bee, forager bees( older ones) and young workers which majorly take care of the cleaning of the bee hive. The last members of the bee hive sleep by taking short breaks in the daytime, while the older forager bees take a nap during the night.
