Did you know bees can dance? Or that they have jobs just like people? Get ready to buzz into some wild, wonderful bee facts!

1. Bees Have Jobs in the Hive

There are worker bees, nurse bees, guard bees—even queen bees!
Each bee has a role to help the hive stay safe, clean, and well-fed.

2. Bees Can Dance to Talk

Honeybees do a “waggle dance” to tell their friends where to find flowers.
Yes, dancing is their GPS!

3. One Bee Can Visit 5,000 Flowers a Day

That’s right—one busy bee can zoom between thousands of flowers, collecting nectar and spreading pollen as they go.

4. Bees Make Honey From Flower Juice

When bees drink nectar from flowers, they store it in a special honey tummy. Back at the hive, they turn it into the sweet honey we eat!

5. Bees Have Hairy Eyes

It sounds weird, but it helps them collect pollen.
Bees even have five eyes—two big ones and three tiny ones on top of their head!

6. Bees Are Amazing Builders

Bee hives are made of perfect hexagon shapes called honeycombs.
No measuring tools—just pure bee brilliance.

7. Queen Bees Can Lay Over 1,000 Eggs a Day

She’s the mother of the whole hive. And she stays very busy.

8. Bees Can Recognize Human Faces

Yep—scientists found that bees can remember faces, just like we do.

9. Not All Bees Sting

Many bees are gentle and won’t sting unless they feel threatened.
Some bees don’t sting at all—like male honeybees and most bumblebees.

10. Bees Help Grow Our Food

Bees pollinate fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Without bees, we wouldn’t have apples, strawberries, pumpkins... or chocolate!
