Honeybee Facts It is the only insect that produces f ood eaten by man. Honey is the only f ood that includes all
the substances necessary to sustain lif e, including enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and water. The honey bee's wings stroke 11,400 times per minute, thus making their distinctive buzz.
A honey bee can f ly f or up to six miles, and as f ast as 22 miles per hour; it has to f ly 90,000
miles - three times around the globe - to make one pound of honey (16 ounces).
The average honey bee will actually make only one twelf th of a teaspoon of honey in its
lif etime.
It takes about 556 workers to gather 1 pound of honey f rom about 2 million f lowers. It takes one ounce of honey to f uel a bees f light around the world.
A honey bee visits 50 to 100 f lowers during a collection trip.
A colony of bees consists of 20,000-60,000 honeybees and one queen at any one time, and
can produce in excess of 200 lbs. of honey per year.
Worker honey bees are diploid and f emale, live 6 to 8 weeks and do all the work. They can
sting. 1100 stings aref atal in most mammals.
If th
ey lay eggs, th
ey areh
aploid and alwaysmale.
Drones are haploid and male. They only live a f ew weeks. Do not work and are f ed by
worker bees. Their only f unction is to breed with queens. They cannot sting. The colony
kills all drones bef ore winter.
The queen lives f or about 2-3 years and is the only bee that lays haploid (male) or diploid
(f emale) eggs. She lays up to 2500 eggs per day; 200,000 per growing season. She can sting.
