7 Things to know about Bees

Only female bees sting

Did you know that it is only the female honey bees that sting? The male ones, also known as drones cannot be able to sting and if you were ever stung by a bee while just out in the fields, it was probably a worker bee. This is because the queen honey bee usually remains close to the hive so a sting from one is pretty rare. Unless of course, you’re somewhere near the hive.
