Approximately how many flowers must bees visit to produce one pound of honey?

• 2 million:Bee-lieve it or not, honey bees must tap approximetly two million flowers and fly 50,000 miles to produce one pound of honey. Surprisingly, a single honeybee makes only 1/12th a teaspoon of honey in its entire lifetime. Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes. To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings. In a single collecting trip, a worker will visit between 50 and 100 flowers, and return to the hive carrying over half her weight in pollen and nectar.
