5 surprising things to know about bees

01. Bees and dancer communication

Bees have a unique way of communicating called the “bee dance” . When a worker bee has discovered a food source, it returns to the hive and performs a special dance to indicate the direction and distance of the source to other bees. This complex dance allows bees to transmit precise information about the location of resources.

02. Police bees

The bees have hive guards who check each bee that comes in . If a foreign bee enters the hive, it is immediately stopped and searched to check if it really belongs to the colony. This helps keep the hive safe.


03. Bees and mathematics

Bees have the ability to count to four . This allows them to track how many times they have performed a certain action, an impressive skill for such small insects.

04. Bees and thermal regulation

Honey bees are able to regulate the temperature inside their hive very precisely. They can heat or cool the hive by flapping their wings at a specific frequency. This thermal regulation is essential to maintain ideal conditions inside the hive, whether in winter to keep the colony warm or in summer to cool it.

05. Bees and emotions

Bees are sensitive to the emotions of other bees in their colony. When a bee is stressed or in danger, it emits pheromones that can influence the behavior of other bees and cause them to adopt protective behaviors or change their activities to help the colony.
