A group of about 12 bees in their lifetime will produce a teaspoon of honey between them. Bees use their honey as an energy source for the hive. Depending on the weather, a hive might use over 20 kilograms (44 pounds) of honey over a single winter.Sep 19, 2013 read more

The bees then drop the honey into the beeswax comb, which are hexagonal cells made of wax produced by the bees, and repeat the process until the combs are full. To prepare for long-term storage, the bees fan their wings to evaporate and thicken the honey (note: nectar is 80% water and honey is about 14-18% water). read more

It takes a tremendous amount of work for bees to make honey. I’ve read that it takes bees together a total of flying more than 50,000 miles gathering nectar to make a single pound of honey. That doesn’t include the process of reducing the nectar to stable honey, removing water from it — this reduces the volume of nectar by perhaps 80%. read more
