Bee Knowledge:
Fun Facts from the Hive
Discover the fascinating world of our pollinator partners and the incredible work they do for our ecosystem every single day.
The Waggle Dance
Honey bees use a unique 'waggle dance' to communicate the exact location and distance of the best nectar sources to their hive sisters.
Five Eyes to See
Bees actually have five eyes: two large compound eyes for seeing movement and three tiny ocelli eyes on top of their heads to navigate by light.
Super Pollinators
A single honey bee can visit up to 5,000 flowers in a single day, playing a massive role in building a healthy and resilient local ecosystem.
Winter Huddle
To survive cold winters, bees cluster around the queen and vibrate their wing muscles to keep the hive at a steady, warm temperature.
A Life's Work
The average worker bee produces only about 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey in her entire life, making every drop of honey truly precious.
Social Responsibility
Bees are highly social creatures that work together selflessly to ensure the survival and prosperity of their entire colony and environment.
