Facts about bees The White House has a bee hive Did you know that bees have to travel 55,000 miles to make a pound of honey? At least that's what I read. It has been said that Alexander the Great was embalmed in honey.
At the last townhall meeting they had the resident bee/pest guy. At the end of the talk I felt so bad for all the bees that have to be destroyed. But you do not want the Africanized colony living in your shed.....The gentleman told us not to try and get rid of a bee swarm by yourself because where our native bees will only send out a few drones to attack, the African bees will send out thousands to sting you and that is the reason for so many deaths.
