Did you know that bees have 4 wings, 6 legs and 5 eyes and see blue better than red.
Honey bees fly up to 15 mph and beat their wings 200 times per second or 12,000 beats per minute!
A honey bee will produce about 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in itsโ lifetime.
A honey bee queen may lay as many as 2000 - 3000 eggs per day as she establishes her colony.
Foraging honey bees have to fly about 55,000 miles to produce a pound of honey, visiting around 2 million flowers.
Honey bees may typically fly between 1 โ 6 km on a foraging trip, but also up to 13.5 km.
The tips of the antennae have more than 300 taste sensors!
To keep warm in winter, honey bees huddle together in a 'winter cluster'.
