The average dust devil is ten to fifty feet in diameter. The chief ingredients for a good dust devil are clear skies and a bright sun, along with a dry surface that can become very hot.

The honeybee begins its life as a pinhead-sized egg, one of 1500 to 2000 laid by the queen of the hive during the course of a typical late-winter or early-spring day. It and its siblings each occupy private, adjoining, six-sided cells that, collectively, serve as the nursery and the honeycomb of the hive.
