1/12 OF A TEASPOON

In each nearly 50 day lifespan on Earth, a single honeybee contributes about 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey to the hive’s total production.

Not a lot.

I learned this fact from a Phoenix beekeeper the other day at an architecture event.

I have lived 50 some years on Earth and wonder about my own contribution to the honey of my hive. Maybe it is not a lot either.
