September is National Honey Month!
September is an important month for bees. The bees are busy securing their hive and preparing for winter.
The honey bee is the only insect that produces food eaten by man. A honey bee can fly for up to six miles, and as fast as 15 miles per hour, hence it would have to fly around 90,000 miles -three times around the globe – to make one pound of honey. Honey is 80% sugars and 20% water. Honey bees produce beeswax from eight paired glands on the underside of their abdomen.
A populous colony may contain 40,000 to 60,000 bees during the late spring or early summer. Worker honey bees live for about 4 weeks in the spring or summer but up to 6 months during the winter.
The Honey bee’s wings stroke 11,400 times per minute, thus making their distinctive buzz.
