- Info: Live streaming honey bee webcam at the entrance to a hive in Bavaria, Germany. The bee cam shows lots of insect activity around the hive entrance.
The queen bee can live up to five years. She is busiest in the summer months, when she can lay up to 2,500 eggs a day.
The average worker bee lives only for around five to six weeks, during which time it will produce around a twelfth of a teaspoon of honey. Bees may fly as far as 5 miles for food, however an average distance would be less than a mile from the beehive. A strong colony of bees therefore flies the equivalent distance from Earth to the Moon everyday.
