A Bee has been described as busy!

To produce one pound of honey a bee must visit 56,000 clover heads. Since each head has 60 tubes - a total of 3,000,000

360,000 visits are necessary to give us that pound of honey for the breakfast table.

Meanwhile that worker bee has flown the equivalent of 3 times around the world.

To produce one tablespoon of honey for our toast the little bee makes 4,200 trips to flowers. It makes about ten trips a day to the fields, each trip lasting 20 minutes average and 400 flowers. A worker bee will fly as far as 8 miles if he cannot find a nectar flow that is nearer.

Therefore, when you feel that persistence is a difficult task think of the bee.

Persistence pays off in the long run!
