Honeybees are the only insects that produce food for humans.
During honey production periods, a bee's life span is about 6 weeks. Honeybees visit about 2 million flowers to make one pound of honey. To produce 2 pounds of honey, bees travel a distance equal to 4 times around the earth. Bees fly an average of 13-15 mph. Bees from the same hive visit about 225,000 flowers per day.
