wow! those are interesting facts.. I am especially surprised by learning that a single bee produces 1 tablespoon of honey. I guess they are really a great example of teamwork, right?
I can think of a few pranks the drones could play on the workers knowing that they can't see red. Thanks for sharing!
Very interesting! I think I better appreciate honey a little more when I realize a single bee took it's whole life for a tablespoon!
