Hettermann, Prop. r*Ui When bees buzz from flower t© flower, they are not gathering honey. They are collecting ' nectar, which they swallow and partially digest. This is later regurgitated and deposited in the combs of the hive as honey. A bee would have to make about 30,000 trips and gather nectar from approximately 3,000,- 000 blossoms in order to produce one pound of honey. Since bees (workers) only live about six weeks, no one of them ever'makes more than about one-tenth of a pound Of honey in a lifetime.
