1 lb. of Honey

A worker bee will live for one month.
During that month she will fly for ten days.
In those ten days she will visit 2,600 flowers.
In her lifetime she will produce 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey.

750 bees work their entire lives to produce 1 lb. of honey.
2,000,000 flowers are visited to produce 1 lb. of honey.
55,000 miles are flown to produce 1 lb. of honey.
A farmer's market asks $6 for 1 lb of honey.
