About it

Honeybees live together in large colonies of tens of thousands, with one queen who lays the eggs. Worker bees fly from flower to flower drinking nectar and gathering pollen, and back at the hive they turn the nectar into honey. As they go, they carry pollen between flowers, which helps plants make fruit and seeds.

Tap it and its wings buzz in a blur as it lifts off, tilts and lands again. A honeybee's wings beat about 200 times a second: that is what makes the buzz.
