Out of these, the western honeybee is the most populous, and only 500-600 species are stingless.\n</p><p class='\"list\"'>Only 4,000 species of bees are native to North America. Of these, there are 46 native bumblebee species.\n</p><p class='\"list\"'>The largest bee species is Wallace\u2019s giant bee, which can grow to 1.54 inches (3.9 centimeters) long and has a wingspan of 2.5 inches (6.3 cm). Scientists believed them to be extinct until they were rediscovered in 1981 in Indonesia.\n</p><p class='\"list\"'>On the contrary, the smallest bee is the Perdita minima, which is less than 0.08 inches (2 millimeters) long. That\u2019s smaller than the eye of the largest bee!\n</p><p class='\"list\"'>If bees went extinct, we would lose 90% of <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/facts-about-apples%5C/%5C%22">apples, onions, </a><a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/blueberry-facts%5C/%5C%22">blueberries, cucumbers, and carrots.\n<p class='\"list\"'>Only social bees live in hives, while solitary bees nest underground or in cavities in wood.\n</p><p class='\"list\"'>About 90% of the bee species in North America are solitary.\n</p><p class='\"list\"'>The \u201cwaggle dance\u201d is the official name for the dance honeybees perform to communicate.\n</p><p class='\"list\"'>Surprisingly, bees have tongues, which they use to retrieve nectar from flowers. They are also known to use their tongues to groom themselves and other bees.\n</p><p class='\"list\"'>The main threat to bees is loss of habitat. The primary factors for this are human development, climate change, and industrial agriculture.\n</p><p class='\"list\"'>The population of a honeybee hive ranges between 20,000 and 60,000 bees. Hive populations are known to fluctuate throughout the year depending on the season and available food.\n</p><p class='\"list\"'>During its lifetime, a honeybee will visit about 20,000 flowers.\n</p><p class='\"list\"'>Only a few hundred bees in a honeybee hive are male drones. The rest are female workers that pollinate.\n</p><p class='\"list\"'>Throughout spring and <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/summer-facts%5C/%5C%22">summer, worker bees literally work themselves until they drop. Their life span is only 4-6 weeks.\n<p class='\"list\"'>When you see a swarm of bees, it is a natural result of an overcrowded hive. Swarms are more common in the <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/spring-facts%5C/%5C%22">spring when the hive&rsquo;s population is growing in anticipation of the summer months.\n<p class='\"list\"'>The only continent bees aren\u2019t found on is <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/antarctica-facts%5C/%5C%22">Antarctica. This is, of course, because of the harsh cold weather conditions and the lack of plants or freshwater.\n<p class='\"list\"'>Bees evolved from stinging wasps around 65 million years ago, around the same time <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/dinosaur-facts%5C/%5C%22">dinosaurs were starting to go extinct.\n<p class='\"list\"'>There is an Indonesian dish called <i>botok tawon in which bee larvae are served alongside rice and shredded <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/coconut-facts%5C/%5C%22">coconut.\n<p class='\"list\"'>Based on ancient cave paintings found in <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/spain-facts%5C/%5C%22">Spain, smoke was used to put bees to sleep as early as 15,000 BC.\n<p class='\"list\"'>The ancient <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/ancient-egyptians-facts%5C/%5C%22">Egyptians are the first known civilization to demonstrate organized beekeeping, beginning around 4,500 years ago.\n<p class='\"list\"'>Of all the 20,000 bee species, only about 800 species actually produce honey. Only eight of these produce enough honey for commercial use.\n</p><p class='\"list\"'>Honeybee hives were brought to <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/virginia-facts%5C/%5C%22">Virginia by European settlers in 1622. These were the first honeybees to live in the United States.\n<p class='\"list\"'>A species called the sugarbag bee mummifies its enemies. It uses wax, resin, and mud from its nest to cover its attackers and disable them. Unsurprisingly, they&rsquo;re yet another of <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/australian-animals-facts%5C/%5C%22">Australia&rsquo;s weird animals.\n<p class='\"list\"'>The Himalayan giant honey bee is the largest species of honey bee at 1.2 inches (3 cm) long. A single nest of Himalayan giant honeybees has been known to contain up to 130 pounds (60 kilograms) of honey.\n</p><p class='\"list\"'>A species called the red dwarf honeybee can hiss to alert its colony of danger.\n</p><p class='\"list\"'>Unlike social bees, solitary bees are much less likely to sting because they do not have a hive to protect.\n</p><p class='\"list\"'>Because there are so many different bee species, it is difficult for researchers to track the endangered status of most bees.\n</p><p class='\"list\"'>The long-horned bee is a species with an antennae that is so long that it looks like a horn!\n</p><p class='\"list\"'>Bees are part of an order of insects called Hymenoptera, which also includes <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/twenty-ant-facts%5C/%5C%22">ants, wasps, and sawflies.\n<p class='\"list\"'>Queen bees typically live from two to three years, although some have been documented as living up to five years.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-256834 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/11%5C/bee-conclusion.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"A' bee landing on a bright purple and yellow flower width='\"728\"' height='\"400\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/www.factstoryhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/bee-conclusion.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>With thousands of species of bees worldwide, these facts are just the tip of the iceberg!\n</p><p>Bees aren\u2019t just fascinating, though; they play such a crucial part in our ecosystem that they\u2019re essential to life as we know it.\n</p><p>Hopefully, the next time you hear a bee buzzing near you, you\u2019ll be able to remember these facts and see them for how important they really are!\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>Although most people have only heard of the honeybee, thousands of other species have unique identifying qualities.
