Measurements show that a honeybee in active flight can acquire an electrostatic charge as great as 93.0 pC.

(a) How many electrons must be transferred to produce this charge?

(b) Suppose two bees, each with a charge of 93.0 pC, are separated by a distance of 1.08 cm. Treating the bees as point charges, find the magnitude of the electrostatic force experienced by the bees.

Compare the force to the weight of a 0.210 g bee.
force / weight=
 
for (a), find the charge of an electron and divide that 93.0 pC by that charge.

for (b) the equation for Electrostatic force between two objects is (q1)(q2)(W)/R^2

where R is the distance between the objects, and q 1 and 2 are the charges of the two objects. W is a constant, i think its 6.67X10^-11
