Honey bees have to travel 55,000 miles just to produce a pound of honey

Imagine that! Travelling miles and miles just to produce one pound of honey. And as if that’s not enough, they’ll have to visit 2 million flowers with about 500 bees working together to achieve this. This is because one bee can only produce a half teaspoon of honey. No wonder it takes these many bees to make a pound of honey. And no wonder they have to travel all these miles.
