Bees are persistent creatures ...
Bee industriousness has long become a household name: these insects really work constantly. A worker bee can make 10 flights per day and explore an area of ​​about 12 hectares. The optimized device of their body allows bees to withstand the load, which also protects them from large temperature changes and squeezing. The bees that lived in the hives on the roof of Notre Dame even survived last year's cathedral fire and successfully bred their offspring.

Bees should not be considered individual organisms.
Honeybees are animals so social that their colonies can be called superorganisms, and an individual bee cannot survive outside of its family. The bee community is strictly hierarchical, each individual performs its own function in it: there is a queen in the hive, worker bees (they are divided into hives serving the bee "house", and flying ones, who make supplies) and drones. The following figures will make it possible to estimate the scale of a bee superorganism: a working individual of a honey bee weighs 0.1 grams, and the average bee swarm is 6-8 kilograms.
