Some Fun Facts about Honey Bees
- Honey bees are one of the few bees with hairy compound eyes.
- The honey bee’s wings stroke over 200 times a second! This motion is what creates the distinctive honey bee buzz.
- During honey production periods, spring and summer, a worker bee’s life span is about 6 weeks.
- The average honey bee will actually make only one twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime… About the size of your pinky fingernail.
- Bees die after they sting! The stinger has a barb that is attached to the abdomen; so, when they sting they lose part of their abdomen and die.
- Honey bees can perceive movements that are separated by 1/300th of a second. Humans can only sense movements separated by 1/50th of a second. Were a bee to enter a cinema, it would be able to differentiate each individual movie frame being projected.
- Queens will lay almost 2000 eggs a day at a rate of 5 or 6 a minute. 75,000-200,000 eggs are laid each year.
