Honey Bees on Red Fox's 'farm'



Bees are weird and cool.  Did you know that boy bees are called drones?  And girls rule the hive.  Once all the boy bees have mated with the queen, the girls kick the boys (aka drones) out.  If they ever come back the girls will kill the boys.  It's just a weird way of living.  Black widows are kinda like that too.  The girl spider eats the boy spider as soon as she's done with him.  And did you know that boy black widows don't look anything like the girl black widows?
Anyway, back to the bees.  Did you know that in a bee's life it can only make less than a teaspoon of honey?   Take a look at our pictures and you'll see that we have some bees and comb and bee hives.  Have fun!
