How many flowers do bees visit to produce a pound of honey?

One pound of honey requires bees to visit over 2 million flowers, with the bees collectively flying about 55,000 miles. This incredible effort results in a natural sweetener cherished for thousands of years. Honey remains a staple in households worldwide.

Beekeeping is vital to agriculture, as honeybees produce honey and pollinate many crops. Bees and beekeepers' dedication ensures that our agricultural systems continue to thrive.
