Explore the Bee- Did you know? 

1. There are three kinds of bees: the queen, the workers, and the drones.

 

2. The queen is the only bee to lay eggs in a hive. She can lay around 1,500-3,000 eggs per day and communicates with her hive with her unique scent called pheromones.

 

3. The worker bees are all female and do the work for the hive. They clean, feed the bee larvae and queen, pack pollen and nectar into cells, repair and build honeycombs, cap cells with beeswax, and guard the hive. Outside the hive, they gather nectar and pollen and collect water. Worker bees have two stomachs, one for eating and another for storing nectar to carry back to the hive. Their life span is five to six weeks, in which they will produce around 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey.

 

4. The drone bees are all male. Their job is to find a queen to mate with by flying to special congregation areas where they hope to meet a queen. Drone bees do not have stingers.

 

5. Bees have a terrific sense of time, distance, and direction. When a bee finds a new food source, it returns to the hive and commences a honeybee dance to indicate its location. By shaking its body and dancing, in reference to the position of the sun, the bee points the other bees in the right direction. The number of shakes and length of the dance indicate the distance to the source from the hive. The bees are able to calculate the most efficient route to their destination faster than computers.

 

6. Bees are the only insects in the world that make food that humans can eat. Honey is filled with natural preservatives, and bacteria cannot grow in it. On average, a single beehive can produce 27-45 kg 435-865-7651 lbs) of honey each year, which is about two to three times more than they need to survive.
