honey bees are not native to north america.

bees don't buzz during an eclipse.

the world's largest honeybee, the himalayan honeybee, produces hallucinogenic honey.

bumblebees can fly at altitudes of up to 29,525 feet - higher than mount everest.

in addition to color and scent, flowers attract bees using electrical fields that react with the tiny hairs on a bee's body. the electrical field varies from species to species.

because of rising production costs, soaring population, and declining wages, within 20 years beef and chocolate may become too expensive for the average american.

(and if you think that's bad, don't get me started on what's happening to honey.)

when a male honey bee (or drone) climaxes during sex, his testicles literally explode, causing his death.

(ah, but what a way to go.)

it takes 8 honeybees their entire lives to collect enough nectar to produce 1 teaspoon of honey.

can't stop coughing? eat some honey. it's the only thing that really works.

the best cough suppressant is not an over-the-counter or prescription medication. it's honey.

have you heard that, according to the laws of physics, bumblebees shouldn't be able to fly? it's bunk. we figured out how bumblebees fly 80 years ago. they use the same principle that helicopters do.

what is the only food that never goes bad? if you said twinkies, you watch too much tv. the correct answer is honey. 3,000 years from now, that jar stashed in the back of your cupboard will still be edible. unfortunately, thanks to pesticides and parasites, the bees that produce it may become extinct within the next 10 years, which will put 1/3 of the world's crops at risk.
