Bees initially fly backwards out of the hive so they know what the entrance looks like.

Bees have 5 eyes.

There are four kinds of bees in a hive: the queen, workers, drones, and guards.

Bees communicate through chemical scents called pheromones and by doing dances.

Bees use chemicals to waterproof their hives.

A single beehive can make more than 22 kg (50 pounds) of honey.

The queen bee only eats royal jelly which is produced by drones.

The female worker bees do the following jobs: cleaning, feeding the baby bees, feeding and taking care of the queen, packing pollen and nectar into cells, capping cells, building and repairing honeycombs, fanning to cool the hive and guarding the hive.

Honey does not go bad as it has a natural preservative. You could safely eat the honey found inside the pyramids.

Bees can recognize human faces.

Studying bees has helped catch serial killers.
