A Pearson's Weekly writer explains bees collect nectar from flowers rather than directly making honey. Nectar is swallowed, regurgitated, and stored in hives as honey. It takes around 30,000 trips and 3,000,000 blossoms to yield a pound of honey, while workers live about six weeks and produce less than a tenth of a pound in a lifetime.
