Unique facts about bees

As a colony, bees consist of queen bees, drones, worker bees, and caregivers. The queen bee is only focused on her job of hatching bee eggs.

Male bees only focus on reproducing with the queen bee, after which they will die. Worker bees only focus on producing honey.

The nanny bee will only meet the queen's needs, feed all the bee larvae, and ensure the hive remains hygienic.

(Almost all of the worker bee's life time is spent producing honey)

A worker bee can live about 5 weeks in summer and about 20 weeks in winter. Most of their life they work to collect flower pollen and nectar to make honey.

According to National Geography, bees can fly as far as 25 km per hour and 200 beats per second. In addition, a bee has 170 odor receptors that can find the best food source to produce honey. Through their flapping wings, flight speed and sophisticated odor receptors, bees can do their job to produce honey.
