The national animal of Scotland is the Unicorn.

5. Bees Sting Other Bees
A very fascinating fact about bees is that they don’t only sting humans but also their fellow bees at times.

If an outsider-bee tries to break in, they would not hesitate for a second and would sting it. A follow-up fact is that bee stings are not only painful for humans, but they are painful for other bees as well.
