🪰 The One and Only Queen
Every hive has just one queen, and she can lay up to 2,000 eggs a day. That’s a full-time job... with no holidays!
🌼 Flower Power
Bees must visit around 2 million flowers to make just one jar of honey. No pressure, little guys.
💃 Waggle Dance Time
Bees dance to tell each other where the good flowers are! It’s called a waggle dance — part GPS, part Strictly Come Dancing.
💪 Super Strength
A bee can carry up to 80% of its body weight in pollen and nectar. Basically the bodybuilders of the insect world.
🕶️ Bee Vision
Bees can see colours humans can’t — including ultraviolet! They spot secret petal patterns we can’t even imagine.
🏠 Home Sweet Comb
Honeycomb is made from wax produced by the bees themselves. And those perfect hexagons? Engineering masterpieces.
☀️ Early Risers
Bees love morning nectar — they’re often buzzing by sunrise. No snooze buttons in this hive.
🧊 Winter Warriors
Bees huddle in a ball during winter to keep warm. They take turns on the cold outer edge — true teamwork.
💨 Fast Fliers
Bees beat their wings 200 times per second. That’s what creates their buzz — and it’s why they never skip wing day.
🍯 Honey Never Goes Off
Archaeologists found 3,000-year-old honey in ancient Egyptian tombs... and it was still edible. Sweet immortality.
