I saw this little honey bee that looked it was pollinating a Texas baby blue eyes. Female honey bees are responsible for collecting honey and although they have a stinger, they can only use it once since they die after they sting. Male honey bees only purpose is to mate and are not even equipped with a stinger. The queen bee’s purpose is just to lay eggs, and she can lay up to 2,500 eggs a day during the busiest summer months.
