My Curious About Bee.

Did you know that



1. What are the top five fascinating facts about bees?

  1. Bees have five eyes in all.
  2. Because bees are insects, they have six legs.
  3. Drones are male bees that reside in hives.
  4. Bees travel at a pace of about 20 miles per hour.
  5. Worker bees are female bees in the hive (except the queen).
  6. The largest number of eggs laid by a queen each day is 2,000.
  7. If a bee's stinger is gone, it will die.


2. Is it honey bee vomit?

Honey is not bee vomit. The nectar travels down a valve into an expandable pouch called the crop where it is kept for a short period of time until it is transferred to a receiving bee back at the hive.


3. What makes a bee special?

Bees are the only insects that produce food that humans can consume. Pollen is carried in a pollen basket by bees on their rear legs. Pollen is a protein source for the hive and is required to feed the baby bees in order for them to grow. In the summer, a beehive might have anything from 50,000 to 80,000 bees.


4. What is the maximum distance a bee can travel from its hive?

Honeybees normally travel between 1 and 6 kilometers, however they can sometimes go up to 13.5 kilometers. Honeybees have been seen to travel up to 20 kilometers from their colony.


5. When a queen bee dies, what happens?

Finally, when a honey bee queen dies unexpectedly, an urgent and unanticipated supersedure arises. Worker honey bees identify several larvae of the appropriate age range and begin conditioning them to become queens. If two virgin honey bee queens emerge at the same time, they will struggle to the death.


6. Do bees eat honey?

Honey bees gather nectar and turn it into honey. The majority of honey bee larvae eat honey, but those selected to become future queens are given royal jelly. Only workers seek for nourishment, absorbing as much nectar as they can from each blossom.


7. Can people eat royal jelly?

Royal jelly is a high-nutritional food with antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory qualities. Many of the health benefits attributed to royal jelly may be attributed to these qualities. It is generally taken orally or applied straight to the skin.


8. What is the difference between royal jelly and honey?

Royal jelly is a natural secretion made by bees to feed the queens, whereas honey is made from nectar and consumed by all bees. Because their compositions differ, honey and royal jelly have different colors and textures.

Lake Karachay

Lake Karachay Lake Karachay (Russian: Карача́й), sometimes spelled Karachai or Karachaj, was a small lake in the southern Ural mountains in central Russia. Starting in 1951, the Soviet Union used Karachay as a dumping site for radioactive waste from Mayak, the nearby nuclear waste storage and reprocessing facility, located near the town of Ozyorsk (then called Chelyabinsk-40). Today the lake is completely infilled, acting as "a near-surface permanent and dry nuclear waste storage facility." Satellite image/map of Lake Karachay The radioactivity of the lake is comparable to the Chernobyl disaster, the worst nuclear accident of all time.  

St. Augustine Monster

 St. Augustine Monster The St. Augustine Monster is the name given to a large carcass, originally postulated to be the remains of a gigantic octopus, that washed ashore on the United States coast near St. Augustine, Florida in 1896. It is sometimes referred to as the Florida Monster or the St. Augustine Giant Octopus and is one of the earliest recorded examples of a globster. The species that the carcass supposedly represented has been assigned the binomial names Octopus giganteus (Latin for "giant octopus") and Otoctopus giganteus (Greek prefix: oton = "ear"; "giant-eared octopus"), although these are not valid under the rules of the ICZN. A 1995 analysis concluded that the St. Augustine Monster was a large mass of the collagenous matrix of whale blubber, likely from a sperm whale.
