What is Purified isophtalic acid?
Purified isophtalic acid is an organic compound that is used in the creation of commercial polymers. The acid is also used in the production of fire resistant materials.
Is honey bees faeces?
NO! Honey is made from nectar which is collected from flowers. It has been stored in a special nectar stomach, then regurgitated back at the hive. It has not passed through the bee's gut.

What is the difference between honeybees and bumblebees?
Body shape is different: a honey bee's body is similar to that of a wasp, while the bumble bee has a round body. The bumble bee is also known for it's hairy or fuzzy appearance. Honey bees, although having a fine hairs appear much smoother. Bumble bees are also usually black and yellow in colour, honey bees more shades of brown. Bumble bees are similar to honey bees in that a hive will consist of a queen, female worker bees, and male drones, who are responsible for mating with the queen. They do produce honey, but in very small amounts, so they are not used for commercial honey production. Another similarity is that only the females possess stingers. Bumble bees tend to live in fairly small nests, which are usually in the ground. For this reason, they do not swarm like honey bees. Bumble bees can thrive in colder climates than most honey bees because they can regulate their body temperature and they have furry bodies. With many bumble bee varieties, only the queen will survive over the winter, and she hibernates in her nest. Honey bees do not hibernate, and although the drones are evicted from the hive at the end of summer and die, the queen and workers over-winter in the hive, taking the opportunity to forage whenever the air temperature is high enough.
Why isn't honey a mineral?
Honey is a sweet, viscous food substance made by honey bees and some other bees.[1][2] Bees produce honey from the sugary secretions of plants (floral nectar) or from secretions of other insects (such as honeydew), by regurgitation, enzymatic activity, and water evaporation. Honey bees store honey in wax structures called honeycombs, whereas stingless bees store honey in pots made of wax and resin.[1][2][3] The variety of honey produced by honey bees (the genus Apis) is the best-known, due to its worldwide commercial production and human consumption.[4] Honey is collected from wild bee colonies, or from hives of domesticated bees, a practice known as beekeeping or apiculture (meliponiculture in the case of stingless bees). Honey gets its sweetness from the monosaccharides fructose and glucose, and has about the same relative sweetness as sucrose (table sugar).[5][6] Fifteen millilitres (1 US tablespoon) of honey provides around 190 kilojoules (46 kilocalories) of food energy.[7] It has attractive chemical properties for baking and a distinctive flavor when used as a sweetener.[5] Most microorganisms do not grow in honey, so sealed honey does not spoil, even after thousands of years.

Why do farmers choose to have honey bees pollinate their apples as opposed to other bee species?
Honey bees live in a colony of around 50,000 bees in the season so there are more of them when needed. Bumble bees might have only 50 bees in a nest but are still used when growing fruit in polytunnels.
