These tiny pollinators may be small, but their impact is enormous and their stories are fascinating.
Did you know?
Bees have been around for over 100 million years. They’re basically ancient royalty!
Honeybees are speedy. They fly at a speed of around 15mph and beat their wings 200 times per second!
Pollinators are essential as they’re responsible for 1 in every 3 bites of food we eat.
Bees practice flower constancy, meaning they stay loyal to one plant species per foraging trip.
There are about 20,000 bee species worldwide, with 3,600 native to North America alone.
