Bee Facts From The Hive About Dance, Diet And Duty
A Bee Ranch expert notes how honeybees use a waggle dance to locate nectar sources 100 yards to two or three miles away. Worker bees visit 100 to 1500 blossoms per trip to fill nectar in a special honey stomach. One bee’s life yields about 1.5 teaspoons of honey. To produce a pound of honey the hive flies 90,000 miles. In winter bees cluster to stay warm, maintaining a temperature near human body heat. The hive acts as a super organism with collective effort.
