How many bees does it take to produce a pound of honey?

The Incredible Journey of Honey: From Flower to Table

One pound of honey requires approximately 768 bees to fly a combined 55,000 miles, visiting over 2 million flowers. This incredible effort results in a sweet and nutritious product humans have cherished for thousands of years.

Beekeeping is a vital part of agriculture, supporting honey production and the pollination of numerous crops. The dedication of bees and beekeepers ensures that honey continues to be a staple in households worldwide.
