1.bees sting only to defend their hive, that stinging a human will kill them.
2.Bees are ecological heroes. As pollinators, their survival is linked to ours. When colony collapse disorder made news in recent years, the campaign to save them was something we could all get behind.

Thousands of honey bee colonies arrive in the Fraser Valley’s blueberry fields every spring, but beekeepers are worried this crop may be harming their bees.

Honey bees spend hours each day collecting pollen and packing it into tidy bundles attached to their hind legs.

Insects in decline—on farmland, latecomers lose out

Propolis is a pliable, resinous mixture that honey bees (Apis mellifera) create by mixing a variety of plant resins, saliva, and beeswax and which they apply to interior surfaces of their hives, namely at points of comb attachment and to seal up cracks and crevices on the interior side of hive walls. Greater propolis production is connected with improved hive health, and a new study finds a few simple methods beekeepers can employ to stimulate increased propolis production.

Beekeepers urged to rethink fears around deadly virus
Research by Professor Madeleine Beekman means the Australian honey bee industry might need to rethink its approach to preparing for the arrival of the Varroa mite, which threatens local bee populations.

South Australian beekeepers are hoping for good autumn rainfall to help bring an end to one of the "worst" seasons the industry can remember.

Climate change, habitat loss, pollution and disease are pushing some bees to extinction, a new report by WWF and Buglife reveals. The scientific research, published on World Bee Day (May 20), looks at bee populations in the East of England and finds many species are on the brink of extinction, with 17 species lost from the region entirely.

A nonlethal dose of insecticide clothianidin can reduce honeybees' life span by half; once combined with the fungicide pyraclostrobin, it alters the behavior of worker bees to the point of endangering the whole colony.

Honeybee hives stand on a field at the Central Maryland Research and Education Center in Beltsville, Maryland. An annual survey of U.S. beekeepers shows the rate of colony death last winter — nearly 40% — was the highest reported since the survey began 13 years ago.

VORONEZH, July 19. /TASS/. Spraying insecticides on agricultural fields caused the death of about 80,000 bee colonies in 25 regions of Russia, the damage of beekeepers exceeded 2 bln rubles ($31.7 mln),

Buzzing by bees during flower pollination is significantly more powerful than that used for defense or flight, according to a new study.

A bee lifespan is difficult for people to comprehend.

Bees are crucial to the agricultural industry. You may already know that one out of every three bites of food you take is because of their crop pollination, but there are many facts that people aren’t aware of. Here are 12 interesting facts about bees, nature’s first farmer:

A beehive is a busy place; many bees are working together to produce honey. Working so hard makes bees tired, and they need to rest.

Bees become living air conditioning units when the weather is hot, they collect and store water, then excrete it in the hive whilst fanning their wings, this cools the temperature in the hive on hot days allowing these clever creatures to regulate the hive temperature very accurately.
