Hey friend 👋

Here are some fascinating facts about bees:

Bees have incredible navigational abilities - they use the sun as a compass and can remember landmarks to find their way between flowers and their hive, sometimes traveling up to 5 miles away!

A single bee colony can pollinate up to 300 million flowers each day. Worker bees visit anywhere from 50 to 1000 flowers during one collection trip. Without their pollination, we'd lose about 1/3 of our food crops.

The honeybee's brain is oval shaped and about the size of a sesame seed, yet it has remarkable learning abilities. They can recognize human faces, understand basic math concepts, and even experience emotions like optimism and pessimism.
