There is an old Northern European custom in which newlyweds would consume mead (honey beer/wine) for a month. That is where the term "Honeymoon" came from. I guess when you ran out of mead "The honeymoon was over"!
Drones "Everywhere I go, I'm just a gigalo" Their only purpose in life is to make sweet sticky bee love to the queen. The down side of beeing a drone is that you are the first to bee booted out of the hive if ther's a food shortage. Oops, found a huge down side, it kills you to mate with the queen!
Honey never spoils.
They use to use honey to treat wounds.
A newly hatched queen immediatley kills all other queens in the hive, hatched or not.
There are undertaker bees whos job it is to drag dead bees from the hive.
