The honey bee has been around for millions of years.

Honey bees, scientifically also known as Apis mellifera, which mean "honey-carrying bee", are environmentally friendly and are vital as pollinators.

It is the only insect that produces food eaten by man.

The average worker bee produces about 1/12th teaspoon of honey in her lifetime.

Each honey bee colony has a unique odour for members' identification.

Only worker bees sting, and only if they feel threatened and they die once they sting. Queens have a stinger, but they don't leave the hive to help defend it.
