There are 25,000 known bee species

The queen bee is unable to take care of herself so she has assistant bees that follow her so they can feed, groom and carry away her waste.

A honeybee will die after it uses its stinger so does not try to sting for no reason!!

Male drone bees do not have stingers and dies soon after the act of mating.

The queen bee is capable of stinging but its barbs are smaller and she is capable of stinging multiple times as she does not die after stinging. However, she tends to reserve her stinger for fighting off other queen bees.

Honey never goes bad, and archaeologists have tasted 2000 year old jars of honey found in Egyptian tombs.
