Bees Don't Sleep

That's right! Honeybees DON'T sleep! Not by our understanding of sleep, anyhow...

Honeybees are insects
Honeybees have 6 legs, 5 eyes, and 2 sets of wings
Honeybees can fly at about 20 mph
Most honeybees in a colony are workers, who live for about 6 weeks
Each colony has 1 queen, who will live for about 2-3 years
Both workers and queens are female
The male honeybees are called drones, and they do no work at all
There will be between 20,000-60,000 honeybees in one colony

Honeybees have been around for 30 million years
Only workers will sting, and only if they feel threatened
Worker honeybees will die once they sting
Drones have no stinger


Queens have a stinger, but don’t leave the hive to help defend it
A worker bee will collect about 1/10th of a teaspoon of honey in her lifetime
It takes about 556 workers to gather 1 pound of honey
It takes the nectar from about 2 million flowers to make 1 pound of honey


A Canadian Prairie honeybee colony can produce an average of 170 pounds of honey in a single season
Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba produce most of Canada’s honey
Honey is a natural, unrefined food that does not spoil
Minerals found in honey include iron, copper, sodium, potassium, manganese, calcium, and phosphorous
