Honey is the ONLY food that includes all the substances necessary to sustain life, including water. A typical beehive can make up to 400 pounds of honey per year. Honey never spoils. It would take about 1 ounce of honey to fuel a honeybee’s flight around the world. Out of 20,000 species of bees, only 4 make honey.

BEES CAN DO MATH – Pretend it’s the weekend, and it’s time to do errands. You have to visit six stores and they’re all at six separate locations. What’s the shortest distance you can travel while visiting all six? Mathematicians call this “traveling salesman problem,” and it can even stump some computers. But for bumblebees, it’s a snap. Researchers at Royal Holloway University in London found that bumblebees fly the shortest route possible between flowers. So far, they’re the only animals known to solve the problem. SAY WHAT?
