More than honey

In recent years, bees have increasingly become an indicator of the health of the environment. Bees contribute more to our nutrition and well-being than any other living creature. Jack Mingo explains why they are the best pets and knows how to entertain with many surprising facts:

• A bee produces 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey in the course of its life
• Bee fur becomes electrostatically charged when rubbed against other bees
• Bees have one in their crown as soon as they nibble on fermented fruit
• Bees also suffer from hair loss
• Bees can ward off elephants.
