Bees aren't afraid of commitment, even if it means certain death!

Bees are not afraid of death at all. 1,100 bees travel 90,000 miles to collect approximately 1000 kilogram of honey. Which is about three times the orbit of moon!

If you count the blossoms, you can see that 4 million flowers must be pollinated in order to produce 1 kilogram of honey. A successful season results in the collection of roughly 55 kilograms of honey. We can learn how diligent worker bees are from this data.

On the other hand, the queen bee only eats and eggs!

The queen lays 1500 to 2500 eggs per day. The nature of male bees is quite peculiar. They do no work in life, even the worker bees have to feed them. Their only goal in life is to meet the queen bee!

Every day during the mating season at noon the most capable male bees of the house gather in a certain place called the male congregation!

The queen bee departs the chaff at the same moment for what is known as "the meeting flight."

The queen bee bursts into the male gathering place. Upon her arrival, she immediately releases a unique perfume that attracts a large number of male bees. Soon after, the queen bee mates in flight with her preferred male. Queen bees often mate with up to 18–20 male bees!

Strangely, the male bee's endophorias, or genital organ, ruptures during mating, and the male bee instantly dies. This meeting is referred to as "The Dramatic Sexual Suicide" for this reason.

A hive consists of only one queen bee. The hive is built around the queen.

If a female bee is born from an egg, the worker bees hide the baby bee from the queen. Strangely, the male bees 'If the queen notices, the baby female bee is sure to die. When the baby queen bee grows up, the two queens fight. It opens two paths. Either die in battle (one kills the other and takes control of the hive) or the two separate and build two separate hives.

If a queen bee unexpectedly dies, the news is known to all worker bees within 15 minutes and they collectively take the initiative to create a new queen bee.

You'll be astonished to learn about a few more odd statistics, including the fact that it takes 2 million blooms to produce 500 grams of honey. A worker bee can produce half a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. Another interesting thing is that honey is the only food in the world that never rots!!!
