Answer to Question 1

The buzzing or humming sound of a beehive comes from the flapping of the wings of the nursery bees. The flapping of the wings serves two purposes: to cool the hive to an even temperature of 95F, and to help evaporate moisture from the stored nectar, which helps concentrate it into honey.

Answer to Question 2

When a young queen emerges as the new queen for the hive, she goes on what is called her maiden flight. During the maiden flight, she attracts drones with a unique scent, and may mate with as many as a dozen of them. The drones that mate then die, and the queen retains enough sperm to fertilize her eggs for as long as four years.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
