Bees are part of those who grow honey. Don't be fooled by its appearance, because a bee sting can cause a lot of discomfort, even in cases of hospitalization. If you are a bee lover, here are some fun facts about bees. We will see?

• All worker bees are female.
• A bee produces one teaspoon of honey (about 5 grams) in its lifetime. To produce one kilogram of honey, bees fly the equivalent of three times around the world in air miles.
• The type of flower the bees get their nectar from determines the taste of the honey.
• Bees don't want to sting you because they die. There are over 20,000 different species of bees, found on every continent except Antarctica.
• Honey has been shown to have many health benefits, both when consumed and when applied to the skin. The darker the honey, the better.
• The bee is the only social insect to be partially domesticated by man.
• The honey bee is the only insect that produces food eaten by humans.
• A honey bee can fly up to six miles, and as fast as 15 miles per hour, so it would have to fly about 90,000 miles – three times around the world – to make a pound of honey.
• It takes an ounce of honey to fuel a bee's flight around the world.
• Honey is 80% sugar and 20% water.
• Honey bees produce beeswax from eight paired glands in the lower abdomen.
• Honey bees must consume about 17-20 pounds of honey to be able to biochemically produce every pound of beeswax.
