The Honey Bee
The bee is more honored than other animals, not because she labors, but because she labors for others.
- St. John Chrysostom
Pollination
Bees pollinate approximately 30% of the world's food crops and 90% of wild plants.
Economics
Every season, pollination from honey bees and native pollinators deliver billions of dollars (U.S.) in economic value. Between $235 and $577 billion (U.S.) worth of annual global food production relies on their contribution.
Honey
To produce a single pound of honey, a colony of bees must collect nectar from approximately 2 million flowers and fly over 55,000 miles. This amounts to a lifetimes worth of work for around 8,000 honey bees.
