Science Sunday Did you know

Tipful Tuesday Be a Keeper. #BringBackTheBees... Here are some wonderful facts from the people at Cheerios It's time to recruit the 2021 Bee Keepers WHY WE NEED BEES 1 IN 3 Bites of the food we eat is made possible by bees and other pollinators, who spread the pollen that crops need to grow. That includes many of our favourite foods like apples, almonds, coffee, and of course, honey. WHY THE BUZZ? The honey bee’s wings stroke incredibly fast, about 200 beats per second, thus making their famous, distinctive buzz. A honey bee can fly for up to nine kilometers, and as fast as twenty five kilometers per hour. BEES CAN RECOGNIZE YOU Honeybees make out faces the same way we do. They take partslike eyebrows, lips, and earsand cobble them together to make out the whole face. It's called "configural processing," and it might help computer scientists improve face recognition technology4. NATURE'S MOST ECONOMICAL BUILDERS In 36 BC, Marcus Terentius Varro argued that honeycombs were the most practical structures around. Centuries later, Greek mathematician Pappus solidified the "honeycomb conjecture" by making the same claim. THERE ARE OVER 20,000 SPECIES OF BEES! Different species have different tongue lengths that adapt to different flowers CITY STICKERS Bees love to live in urban settings where there are short flight paths and a variety of different plants and flowers to sample just as much as they love the country. IT TAKES ONE OUNCE OF HONEY TO FUEL A BEE'S FLIGHT AROUND THE WORLD. LIFE IN COLOR Bees have good colour vision. That's why flowers are so showy. They especially like blue, purple, violet, white and yellow5.
