“The drone dies in the mating process: the wind pressure developed during his attempt to catch and mount the queen actually causes him to explode with an audible pop as he ejaculates inside her. He then falls off the queen, usually leaving a portion of his phallus inside her.”
Richard E. Bonney, Storey's Guide to Keeping Honey Bees: Honey Production, Pollination, Bee Health

“The lethal dose of honey bee venom in humans is around 19 stings per 2.2 pounds (1 kg) of body weight or about 1,300 stings for a 150-pound (68-kg) person.”
Richard E. Bonney, Storey's Guide to Keeping Honey Bees: Honey Production, Pollination, Bee Health

“Out of sight is out of mind. The closer your hives are to your residence the better. Beginners need colonies nearby so they can visit them often. Casual visits are important even if you don’t open the hives. You can learn much simply by observing the entrance.”
