Behavior

Get Food
Bees collect pollen, nectar, and water from local sources and bring it back to the hive. They pack cells in the hive full of pollen mixed with a little of the honey they recently imbibed and then later use that pollen for the greater part of their nutrition (proteins & amino acids, lipids, vitamins, and so on). They mix the collected nectar with enzymes from their own bodies (and sometimes with a little water) and store it in open cells until the moisture level drops by evaporation to about 17%. During this time, the added enzymes converts some of the more complex sugars into simpler sugars that are easier for the bees to use for energy. After the moisture stabilizes at around 15-17% water, they cap the cells with a thin layer of wax to preserve the honey for future use. Honey is primarily used as an energy source (it is by far and away made of carbohydrates), although the nectar from which it is made may also contain varying, but small, amounts of proteins, amino acids, lipids, and other compounds that are part of the bee's nutrition.

Protect itself from predator
Bees are well none for there stings, and if they think that your doing any harm to them they are definitely going to sting you to protect themselves!


Sleeping Habits
Honey bees do in fact sleep, though there is always significant activity in the hive 24 hours a day,365 days a year. Research done in 1988 shows that occasionally, Honey Bees will take a rest and become relaxed, their body temperature drops, and they become unresponsive. Their sleep is not exactly like human sleep, but it is considered a form of sleep.
