30 Wild Marlow Days - Day 11

• Fancy some incredible honey bee stats?

  1. One honey bee has to fly about 90,000 miles – three times around the globe – to make one pound of honey.
  2. The average bee will make only 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.
  3. A honey bee visits 50 to 100 flowers during a collection trip.
  4. A honey bee can fly for up to six miles, and as fast as 15 miles per hour.
