OneEarWillie Honey

• In one honey bee's lifetime (about 5-6 weeks), it collects enough nectar to make 1/12 of a Tbsp of honey.

​

• It takes 556 honey bees spending their entire lives gathering nectar to produce 1 pound (12 fl oz) of honey.

​

• For 1 pound of honey, honey bees will visit over 2 million flowers.

​

• The combined distance flown by honey bees while gathering enough nectar to produce 1 pound of honey is greater than the distance around the Earth.

​

• A healthy bee hive can produce over 100 pounds of honey in one year.

​

• Honey is the only food that NEVER spoils...  Honey has been discovered in the pyramids that is 1000s of years old, that is still edible!
