* When flying, a bee will beat its wings about 180 times per minute.
* There are three types of bees in the hive – queen, worker and drone.
* A bee can see 300 frames per second. Translated, this means that if a bee was watching a movie in the cinema, it would be able to differentiate each individual movie frame being projected.
* Africanized Honey Bees (killer bees) will pursue an enemy 400 metres or more! So they are out to get you…
* The average worker bee will fly approximately 800 kilometres before it wears out and dies. That’s roughly the distance from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth!
