Have you ever heard a “bee tree”? You can almost literally feel the buzz from a fair distance away, if it is a large one.

Did you know that the first fly trap was invented in the 1700s? In fact, this fly trap, developed by Franz Ernst Bruckmann, was made of a wooden box with a spring-loaded lid. Flies were baited inside by the use of a sweet attractant; when several flies were inside, the lid closed, trapping the flies.
