bees

  • Bees can see ultraviolet light
  • Most honey bees die after they sting people as our skin is elastic, unsuitable for their stingers which are meant for harder inelastic skin. Their venom glands are also torn out in the process. (So removing the stinger by piching the tip is well, in one word, dumb.jk)Thanx Mr Tuvai
  • A bee can travel 4 million miles (6.5 million km) at 7 mph (11 km/h) on the energy it would obtain from 1 gallon (3.785 liters) of nectar, or it could just sit down on and enjoy that honey properly
  • Honeybees have a type of hair on their eyes
  • Some honeybees have been trained to ‘smell’ out TNT in landmines instead of pollen
