Answer:

828000 times

Explanation:

The flight of honeybees is very peculiar and has kept the scientists confused for a very long time. It is peculiar because the way they flap their wings used to be considered aerodynamically unstable and not fit for flying. But they do fly and flap their wings faster.

They beat their wings 230 times per second. That means in one hour they will beat the wings


= 230* 60 * 60

= 828000 times
