The buzz about bees • A honeybee will travel more than 55,000 miles in her lifetime • Female honeybees account for approximately 95 percent of their hive’s population
• There are more than 4,000 native bees in the United States , but surprisingly honeybees aren’t one of them • The average honeybee produces 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in her lifetime • The average American consumes about 1.5 pounds of honey each year • Bumblebees are the only effective pollinator for peppers, tomatoes and cranberries
• The male honeybee’s main objective is to spread his hive’s DNA by mating with a queen from another hive • Only female honeybees can sting • A healthy queen honeybee can lay more than 2,000 eggs per day • One way bees communicate with each other is by doing what’s called a waggle dance
• During the winter, this percentage increases to 100 percent as all the males are kicked out of the hive
