Help Rufus's friend

Fellow beekeeper, Rufus has a friend, OG, who is struggling to find 15 facts about the number 15 for a design project. At the risk of being a bee bore, I have suggested:

  • As soon as 15 or more honeybees indicate the same new nest site for a swarm, the colony prepares to move.
  • A queen bee has a retinue of about 15 (alternating) honeybees.
  • Honeybees cruise at about 15mph.
  • 15 stings in one day is enough to make me burst into floods of tears.
I'm sure you can do better.

15 stings in one day is enough to make me feel clammy and viraemic. Touch wood, I haven't had a single sting in more than a year.
