It is estimated that the average honey bee will fly a total of about 500 miles (800 kilometers) in its lifetime.
The life span of your average bee is 4-6 weeks though Queens have been known to live as long as 4 years.
The average worker bee makes about 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in their short existence.That dribble of honey on the side of the jar could be the complete life's work of a half dozen of honey bees.So lick it off in their honor so their lives and hard work won't have been in vein!
