A baby bumblebee emerges from its cocoon and leaves as an adult worker bee when it is only two days old.", "Poison Pollen:

With its long tongue, the bumblebee collects nectar and pollen from flowers to feed the larvae.

Because so many new houses are being built, chemical sprays used on lawns are harming the bumblebee population.", "For the Love of Honey:

A single honeybee will produce 1/12 teaspoon of honey in her lifetime.

For every one pound of beeswax, seven to eight pounds of honey are consumed by the bees.", "Master Chefs:

Honeybees are the only insects to produce food for humans.", "No Rose Colored Glasses:

Honeybees can't see the color red. Because of this particular color blindness, honeybees won't visit blossoms that are completely red.", "Watch Out For the Workers:

Only worker bees sting because only they have stingers.

The drones do not require stingers because they only work in the hive, and the queen has fully developed ovaries instead of a stinger.", "Brilliant Bees:

The strangest thing it has recklessly pursued is a jumbo jet. If it's airborne, it's good enough to pursue.", "Who Would Have Thought?

Chemists and Entomologists are working together to train bees in an effort to locate hidden landmines.

Because bees pick up pollen and dust particles when foraging, the scientists hope that the bees will also be able to pick up residues from TNT that has leaked from the landmines, as well.

The bees are being equipped with miniature radio-frequency tags that gather data as the bees forage.

By gathering samples and data, the scientists can determine whether the bees can reliably find landmines.", "Sweet Signal:

Bees often send off alarms with special scents, but did you know that the honey bee's scent smells like a banana?

When a beehive is attacked by other bees or wasps, guards will produce a chemical from a gland next to their stinger.

When the enemy is stung, the barbs catch in the victim's skin causing and also cause the gland next to the stinger to break.
