i saw that on discovery channel. they have observed that some bees would actually venture out up to 5 miles from the nest just to get to fields of flowers with lower competition with other bees...they did that to a honey bee farm and like tagging 1 or 2 honey bees for every colony and they watched on the computer how far they would venture out. some bees would go 5 miles. its pretty impressive for a tiny creature to venture that far...
Generally they won't fly any further than they have to, but the usual foraging range is considered to be a radius of about three miles (five kilometres) from the hive. If there is little forage in that area they have been known to fly as far as five miles (eight kilometres).
A honey bee will travel up to 2 or 3 miles if there is an attractive source of nectar on offer.
It is because of this that if a hive is moved it needs to be moved about 3 miles so that the bees are in completely new territory. Otherwise they fly out of the hive (in its new location) spot a landmark that they recognize from previous foraging and fly back to where the hive used to be sited!
Although they can go further, honey bees will usually forage within a three mile (five kilometre) radius of the hive.
The bumblebee has the ability to fly several miles per day while looking for nectar. They can fly up to 10 miles per hour.
They fly 5-10 miles away from their hive
