Hello,These are some really cool Bee facts! I hope you enjoy looking at them all! Timmy's Fun Bee Facts! # A honeybee has to travel over 55,000 miles and visits approx. 2 million flowers to make 1 pound of honey. # A honeybee can fly approximately 15 miles per hour. # Honeybees are the only insect that produce food for humans. # Honey is the ONLY food that includes all the substances necessary to sustain life, including water. # A typical beehive makes more than 400 pounds of honey per year # Approximately 7-8 pounds of honey are consumed by bees to produce 1 pound of beeswax. # Honeybees will usually travel approximately 3 miles from their hive. # A single honeybee will only produce approximately 1/12 teaspoon of honey in her lifetime. # A honeybee will flap its wings about 11,400 times per minute creating the "buzz" that you hear. # Honeybees are the only bees that die after they sting. # Honeybees are entirely herbivorous when they forage for nectar and pollen, but can cannibalize their own brood when stressed. # Honey speeds the healing process and combats infections. # Honey never spoils. # It would take about 1 ounce of honey to fuel a honeybee's flight around the world. # Honeybee colonies have unique odors that members flash like ID cards at the hive's front door, so the guard bees can recognize the entering bees. # Honeybees are responsible for approx 80% of all fruit, vegetable and seed crops in the U.S. I hope you liked reading those facts about bee's! I am moving soon! I can get more bee's in the spring time! I cant wait to move! thats all for today! your friend, Timmy Some photos of my bees {

Here are some photos of my bees that I had in CA before we moved to KS. This is me picking up my bees from the post office. They were really nice to take care of my bees till I got there.  I am waiting to put the bees into their new hive  My baby brothers and friends were watching as we put the bees in the hive  This is me and my friend Steven, the one I gave my bees too, sparying the bees with sugar water before we opened their box  I was helping put the bees in the hive over the queen bee's cage  Okay, those are all the photos for now. Next time I will tell you my favorite places to read about bees and buy bee stuff from. Your Friend, Timmy Hello Everyone! {
