To celebrate the fact that the EU (European Union) just voted to ban the use of harmful pesticides that has been killing bees, I've decided to post these EXCITING FACTS ABOUT BEES!!!
- Bees can’t see red.
To bees, red looks like black. As such, honeybees won’t go to a purely red flower.
- The drones, or males, only have one purpose in life:
to mate with the queen. And when they climax during sex, their testicles explode and they die.
- A hive needs about 60 pounds of honey to get through the winter.
Any less and they’ll starve. For hives that are being kept by humans, they usually produce about 120 pounds of honey during the summer so we get half the fruits of their labors.
- Undeveloped female bees
do all the real work.
- Honeybees never sleep,
and honey never spoils.
