The normal top speed of an average worker bee is about 15 to 20 mph (21 to 28 kph). However, when returning from a food source laden with nectar, pollen, water and the like, their speed will drop to about 12 mph (17 kph).

Bees only fly at around 15 miles to 22 miles per hour in calm conditions.

You on the other hand can only manage 23 miles per hour if you're really fit so only upset them if you are related to Usain Bolt.

Same as any other honey bee, usually about 15 mph but is capable of up to 25 mph for short periods.

Generally, the lighter the animal, the faster it can fly. Since bees are typically lighter than wasps, many can fly faster than a wasp.
