Why are we called Honey Bee?
Honey Bees are amazing little creatures. They are Louisiana’s state insect. Without bees, we wouldn’t have plants, flowers, fruits or veggies— they beautify our world & support our food sources! They are famous for making honey, which is highly regarded for its health benefits. Honey Bees are brilliant communicators who use a waggle dance, vibrations & body chemical signals to "talk." They live in highly organized communities (hives) where they COMMUNICATE, SOCIALIZE & COOPERATE to make their world (& ours, too!) go 'round! So see, we aren't that much different than our winged friends.
