Many people only have one or two hives. Unlike other exotics, such as carp and starlings, honeybees have only been a benefit to people and the environment, pollinating both farm crops and wildlife foods. Should they be completely destroyed, an important part of the natural world would be lost. Each honeycomb has six sides. Honeybees fly about 15 miles an hour.
