@SweetSats coming through with a massive jar of honey.
How many bees worked their asses off to make of all this honey?

Yes! 🙌 the African Bitcoin Queen Bee 🐝 agrees 
Many thousands, likely millions.

To make 44 ounces of honey, it would take about 3,165 bees visiting around 15.8 million flowers. 🐝
Pretty mind-blowing, right? 🤯
How about this: In its lifetime, one bee flies about 500 miles just to gather enough nectar to make its tiny bit of honey (~1/12 teaspoon). So for 3,165 bees, that's over 1.5 million miles flown — just to make 44 ounces of honey. 🍯
Thousands of bees, millions of flowers!
Well, if you have many hives, you have millions of bees, too. But it depends on your hive quantity for sure.
True! You do need the entire hive! Just a few bees on their own would not be very productive.
This is the type of customer service you get on #nostr. 🧡✊💜
Honey we love
Why don't they just go one mile to the store to buy some honey? Are they stupid?
Sweet!

Nice! Have about 1 1/4 mason jars left of our honey from last year, our first season! Both swarms caught last year are doing well and think we’ve got number four checking out our main trap today. Swarm three just came back from my buddys farm and will be installed in their hive tomorrow. :)
