    The distance a bee can fly in a day varies depending on the species and individual differences.

    According to some data, the effective range of bees is generally within half a kilometer of the hive, and the radius of collection is usually 2-3 km. If there is a lack of nectar near the apiary, the bees can fly up to 6-7 km away to collect it, and the maximum flight distance is about 14 km. These distances are the farthest bees can fly in search of food and for honey harvesting, but it is not every day that bees can fly that far.

    In addition, bees fly at speeds of 20-40 km/h and at altitudes of less than 1 km. After consuming the stored honey in the body, it can only fly about 4-8 kilometers at a time, and the speed is about 15-25 kilometers per hour affected by wind resistance, and the maximum speed can exceed 30 kilometers per hour. Bees consume more than 2 grams of honey per day, and each bee can actually provide about 3 grams of honey for people.

    Therefore, the distance that bees fly each day depends on a variety of factors, including species, individual differences, nectar source distance, weather conditions, etc. In general, bees can fly a distance of about 10-15 km per day.

    Under normal circumstances, a worker bee goes out to collect honey more than 40 times a day, picking 100 flowers each time, but the nectar collected can only make 0 5 grams of honey. If you want to make 1 kilogram of honey, and the distance between the hive and the nectar source is 1,500 kilometers, it is almost 120,000 kilometers to fly, which is almost equivalent to flying around the earth three times.

    Excluding breaks, bees can fly about 160 km a day.

    Bees fly at speeds of 20-40 kilometers per hour, at altitudes within 1 kilometer, and have an effective range within kilometers from the nest.

    Bees live in groups, and there are three types of bee colonies: queen bees, worker bees, and drone, and there is one queen bee (with some exceptions, two queens), 10,000 to 150,000 worker bees, and 500 to 1,500 drones. Bees work non-stop to obtain food, collecting honey during the day and making honey at night, and at the same time completing pollination tasks for fruit trees, which is an important medium for pollinating crops.

    With the increase in the number of alien bee species such as Italy introduced in China, the distribution area of Chinese honey bees is getting smaller and smaller, and it is shrinking year by year. Especially in some plains, hills and low altitude areas, Chinese honey bees have been largely or completely replaced by exotic bees.

    According to the Beijing Science and Technology News, the number of Chinese bees in Beijing alone has decreased from more than 40,000 in the fifties of the last century to less than 40 at the beginning of this century, which has reached the level of endangerment.

    The scary thing is that once the Chinese honey bee is completely extinct, it will affect the changes in all the plant symbiotic ecosystems associated with it. The common problems encountered in raising Chinese honey bees are that the queen bee is difficult to copulate, the colony loses its queen frequently, and the population declines significantly.

    When collecting honey, it should not be done in rainy weather, and in addition, the time of honey collection should be determined according to the temperature of the weather. If the temperature is warmer, it should be done in the evening;

    Because in the evening, the bees do not attend very much, and most of the worker bees return to the nest. After the honey is retrieved, it ensures that the worker bees have enough time to repair the damaged nest spleen.

    If the temperature is low, then it should be carried out in the middle of the morning, the temperature at this time is relatively high in a day, the spleen is not easy to be frozen, if it is winter, there should be enough spleen to ensure that the bees survive the winter, it is best not to take honey.

    The bee flies at a speed of 1 hour and 15 miles.

    Because every minute of the precious life of the hard-working bee is dedicated to the group, from the beginning of the bee's ability to work, there is no answer to a moment of rest, and he is constantly busy for the life of the group, from feeding the baby bees, cleaning the beehive, collecting honey, collecting pollen, picking gums, collecting water, fanning the wind and cooling the beehive in summer, swinging the body to heat the bee colony in winter, until the moment when the bee dies.

    24 hours a day.

    23 times 15 equals 345 kilometers strong! Of course, the bee still has to work, and he doesn't run all the time.
