Amazing Facts :

Honey bees are social insects known for their role in pollination and honey production. They live in colonies with a single queen, drones, and thousands of worker bees. Worker bees collect nectar and pollen from flowers, transforming nectar into honey. Bees communicate through the "waggle dance" to indicate food sources. They have five eyes, two large compound eyes and three simple eyes, aiding in navigation and detecting light. Honey bees possess a barbed stinger, which they use defensively. Crucial to ecosystems, their pollination supports the growth of fruits, vegetables, and flowers, making them vital to agriculture and biodiversity.

Physical Characteristics:

Honey bees measure about 12-15 mm in length, with a fuzzy body that's golden brown with black bands. Their compound eyes provide wide-angle vision, and they have three simple eyes on top of their heads. Honey bees have two pairs of wings, with hind wings smaller than forewings, enabling precise flight. Their legs are equipped with pollen baskets (corbiculae) for transporting pollen. A honey bee's proboscis is specialized for sucking nectar. Females possess a barbed stinger for defense. These characteristics enable honey bees to thrive in their roles within the hive and in nature.
