A honey bee can make only 9 drops of honey…

Busy as a Bee….

A worker bee can make only nine drops (1/12 of a tsp) of honey in her lifetime…

And they are ‘Busy Bees’ indeed…
….summer bees will live only four to six weeks before they literally wear their wings out foraging.

On average honey bees will fly 50, 000 miles and visit 2.6 million flowers
to produce ONE POUND of honey!

To put that in perspective…
A quart of honey is generally 2 and 1/2 pounds….
…..that’s roughly foraging the equivalent of five trips around the earth!
