A honey bee visits 50-100 flowers in one trip. Honey from Buckwheat and Sourwood trees have been shown to have additional benefits. Both are grown within our bees foraging area!
There can be upwards of 40,000 to 60,000 bees in a strong hive come late spring or early summer!
Bees build honeycomb with perfect hexagons sloping at exactly 13º to keep the honey in! The wall of comb is 2/1000 inch thick, but can support 25 times it's own weight. Honey bees produce beeswax from eight paired glands on the underside of their abdomen.
