BEES

I love fascinating/random facts!

-Bees can be used to detect landmines. Tiny radio plates the size of a rice grain will be attached to honey bees to detect antipersonnel landmines, of which there are about 100 million in 70 war-torn countries.

-Without bees, there will be no flowers or crops. Although birds, other insects and the wind also pollinate plants, bees do most of it.

-Bees see colours differently than we do. They are insensitive to red but detects ultraviolet light which is invisible to us.

-A worker bee communicates her floral findings by performing a dance on the honeycomb. The orientation of her movements and the frequency of her vibrations indicate the direction and distance of the flowers.
