Honey Bee Science
Recent research has revealed more amazing honey bee abilities:
- Bee-Sweet: Bees detect electrical signals from flowers which help identify flowers with the best nectar.
- Bee-Spresso: Many flowers have caffeine in their nectar which attracts bees.
- Bee-Tox: When bees eat their own honey it detoxifies them with antibiotics.
- Bee-Friend: Bees use their right-side antenna to tell friend from foe – it has more hairs on it.
- Bee-Still: Even small amounts of pesticides will destroy a beehive. Don’t spray near flowers!
