Bees collect nectar in the honey bladder using a proboscis and transport the pollen on their hind legs in so-called pollen baskets or pollen panties. They can absorb up to eight milligrams of pollen.
A bee travels 60 kilometers a day, very quickly qualifying as a status flyer in the “mile collector” club! 8,000 kilometers represents the lifespan of a bee.
Bees have no ears or lungs, but breathe through wind tubes, the trachea, which open into breathing openings on the surface of the body.
Bis zu 50 km/h – so schnell kann eine Sammlerin fliegen. Die höchste Fluggeschwindigkeit von Bienen beträgt “leer” etwa 70 km/h und “beladen” etwa 20 km/h.
Bees have existed on Earth for over 30 million years.
Today we use over 50,000 bee-pollinated plant species for medical purposes alone.
While worker bees hatch from fertilized eggs, male bees emerge from unfertilized eggs - this is called parthenogenesis. The queen decides which eggs are fertilized.
75 percent of global food crops depend on pollination, particularly by bees.
In Indien kommt es immer wieder zu fatalen Zusammenstößen, wenn Elefanten Geleise überqueren und von Schnellzügen angefahren werden. Das Eisenbahnunternehmen Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) will nun die notorische Angst der Dickhäuter vor Bienenstichen ausnutzen, um die Zahl der Unfälle zu reduzieren. In der Nähe der Bahngleise wurden Lautsprecher aufgestellt, aus denen lautes Bienensummen ertönt, wenn sich ein Zug nähert. Diese Maßnahme soll die Elefanten rechtzeitig verscheuchen.
Bees have five eyes, two large compound eyes to discover flowers, the three smaller dot eyes on the top of the head differentiate between light and dark.
