Honey bees never sleep! No wonder worker bees have such a short lifespan - about 6 weeks.
Honey bees are the only insects that produce food humans consume.
The average honey bee will produce 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.
The Queen bee lays about 2,000 eggs per day! She can also select the gender of the larvae.
Bees are responsible for 80% of pollination. Every 3rd bite of food is produced by bees pollinating crops!
Bees have two stomachs - one stomach for eating and the other special stomach is for storing nectar collected from flowers or water.
If a worker bee uses her stinger, she will die.
The bees use their honeycomb cells to raise their babies in, and to store nectar, honey, pollen and water.
Honey comes in different colors and flavors. The flower where the nectar was gathered from determines the flavor and color of the honey.
