Zak's Bees

"We brought honey bees to North America primarily as a source of fuel. Although honey was nice to have, fuel for candles was essential."

"It's the most grown crop in the United States--and it's not one that anyone can eat; it's primary purpose is to make us look and feel good about ourselves."

A 16 oz jar of honey requires 1,152 bees to travel 112,000 miles to visit 4.5 million flowers. It would only take one ounce of honey for a honeybee to travel around the world at a max speed of 15mph.

If honeybees were paid minimum wage for their labor, a jar of honey would cost us $182,000.

Not sure how all the math adds up, BUT you're worth it.

I blow in the wind.
I come and I go.
The wind is often how I grow.
My colors show through.
The sun has guided me too.
