How many bees are there in a beehive? What does this many bees look like? I am sure that these are questions that you have often wondered about. Thankfully, here at beepuzzled.com we have you covered.

According to the British Beekeepers’ Association, during Summer months, there can be around 40,000 bees in a hive. This number will drop to around 5,000 bees during the Winter.
