Wax to Honey Ratio
For every pound of wax produced, the bees need to eat 6-8 pounds (lbs) of honey.

True Appreciation for Honey
Each honey bee produces just 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey in her lifetime (on average).

Bees Would Fly 10,000 Miles… And then some!
A hive of bees will fly about 90,000 miles to produce one (1) kilogram of honey.

• A honeybee algorithm won the 2016 Golden Goose prize. The algorithm mimics a foraging honey bees behavior and is extremely efficient in systems engineering!
