Where do bees go at night?

Question

During the day I see tons of bees all over every tree and bush, then at night there's none. Yet I never see them 'traveling' home to a hive or someplace else at night. So are there hives in every tree and bush I see? If they move from location to location, wouldn't we see bees traveling all over the place, all the time?

Answer 1

bees spend the night in their hive.  beekeepers normally place the hives in a fairly open area.  bees travel some distances from their hive to where ever they can find pollen.  bees communicate the location of the pollen to other bees using a special dance
