Fear of Lightning Persists Despite Death Toll Comparisons

How Bees Labor To Produce A Single Pound Of Honey
A single pound of honey requires the life work of 800 bees over eight years if one bee could produce it alone. It would travel 76,000 miles gathering nectar, then convert nectar into levaless and dextrose, reduce moisture from 80 to 20 percent, build the honeycomb, raise the nursery, care for the queen, clean the hive, and maintain a cooling system. Bees also support live researchers and scouts to find new nectar sources.
