How Bees Hear
Did you know that bees don’t have ears like us? Instead, they feel sounds through tiny sensors on their legs. This helps them sense the vibrations of other bees’ dances or when predators are near. It’s like they can “hear” through their feet!
Bees Use Electricity
Bees are not just busy; they’re also electric! As they fly, bees build up a small electrical charge. This charge helps them attract pollen from flowers. It’s a super power that helps them be more efficient when they gather pollen and nectar.
The Lifespan of a Bee
Another fascinating fact is about the lifespan of bees. Worker bees, which are all female, usually live for about six weeks during the busy summer. However, queen bees can live for several years, and their sole purpose is to lay eggs to ensure the hive keeps growing.
Bees’ Drinking Habits
Bees need to drink water too, just like us. They use their long, tube-like tongues to sip water. They also bring water back to the hive to help regulate the temperature and to mix with the pollen to feed the larvae.
