My earlier post, was actually yesterdays. I fell asleep last night before I posted it.

Today's interesting fact has to do with Honey Bees.

Bees regulate the temperature of their hives by warming their bodies, through vibrating their flight muscles.

This can raise the temperature of the hive to over 47 °C (117 °F).

If a human's body temperature were to rise to this temperature, it would kill him (her).

Therefore, if you had a large enough ball of bees, you could kill someone, and not just from potential stings.

It would take the about 20,000,000 Honey Bees, or the contents of around 1000 medium sized hives, to do it though. The bees wouldn't be able to get close enough all at once, to a human to actually do it, there would be a awful lot of bees.

But it would only take around 50 jars of honey to supply the bees with the energy to do the feat, if it were possible.
