Bees' flight speed averages only 15 miles per hour.
Bees possess five eyes.
Honeybees can perceive movements that are separated by 1/300th of a second. Humans can only sense movements separated by 1/50th of a second. Were a bee to enter a cinema, it would be able to differentiate each individual movie frame being projected.
Honeybees' stingers have a barb which anchors the stinger in the victim's body. The bee leaves its stinger and venom pouch behind and soon dies from abdominal rupture.
Africanized Honey Bees (killer bees) will pursue an enemy 1/4 mile or more.
Honeybees communicate with one another by "dancing" so as to give the direction and distance of flowers.
A single hive contains approximately 40-45,000 bees.
