With bitter temps here & three days to March with more snow, stay tuned for days of sunny regrams from points South as we garner our hearts to see which of our New England bees will make it through April! 🐝🍯🐝 #FollowTheHoney #FutureIsFemale #BeekeepersIfInstagram #NextGenBeekeekeepers @texasbeeworks #HoneyGirl so happy we got to meet y’all @sxsweco a few years ago! #Repost @texasbeeworks ・・・ Instead of reposting my 'Top 9' most popular posts for the year, here are my top 9 favorite facts about bees! - 1. The population of a beehive is about 95% female. 2. 1 out of every 3 bites of food we eat is dependent on honeybees. 3. Each bee will only make ‪1/12th‬ of a teaspoon of honey in her lifetime, and bees are the only insect that produce food consumed by humans. 4. Honeybees have a sense of smell that is 50 times more powerful than a dog. 5. There are over 20,000 known species of bees in the world, and honeybees are the only bees that die after stinging. 6. Honeybees beat their wings over 200 times per second, which is how they create their “buzz”. 7. One way that bees communicate is by dancing. 8. In 1984, honeybees went to space where by the end of the seven-day mission, the bees “showed complete adaptation to microgravity" and were even able to construct honeycomb. 9. A typical beehive will make 30-60 pounds of honey and collect over 60 pounds of pollen every year. #top9 #bees #hive #beekeepers #beek #apiculture #insect_addict #insectlovers #insectworld #bugsofinstagram #buzz #atx #austintexas #womenwhofarm #texasgirl #beekeepinglife #texashillcountry #hillcountry #savethebees #🐝 https://www.instagram.com/p/BuXSoEdHhcs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16haqvug801he
