Honeybee

A group of bees is called a swarm. A honey bee visits between 50-100 flowers during one collection trip. Bees can fly so they don't have to walk far! Honey bees live in hives.

A honey bee hive consists of a single queen lots of male drones and thousands of females are worker bees. The queen is the largest bee in the hive. She can lay up to 1000 eggs per day.

Their diet is honey nectar and pollen but they only eat it when they're outdoors. The queen eats the same but only when they hibernate.

Their colour is a creamy yellow and a dark black. They have four clear small fast wings. They have two front legs and four back legs.

Did you know? two tablespoons of honey would be enough energy for a honeybee to fly around the whole world. The honeybee is the only insect to produce food eaten by man. Honeybees communicate with others by dancing. Honeybess have been around for more then 30 million years. Thats so long that it is almost before mankind.
