Some bee facts for you:
Bees were the first creatures to discover that the world was round. This is known because they can use the Sun as radar even at night to find nectar.
Only one bee, the honey bee, dies after stinging. If you a stung and the creature dies, it is more likely to be a wasp.
It takes 12 bees a lifetime to make a teaspoon of honey.
Beehive cells are hexagon shaped because it uses the minimum amount of wax for the maximum storage space in a given area.
If you put a magnet next to a honeycomb, the hexagon cells turn cylindrical.
Eddie Izzard once said it was odd that bees make honey, "Earwigs don't make chutney."
