TIL honey bees generally live for only 40-odd days and one bee can only produce half a teaspoon of honey during its lifetime.
But given that natural honey never expires, I’m amazed and humbled to learn that a honey bee can produce something of eternal value during its short lifetime.

I love bees!!
They live longer in the winter. Drones (the male bees) have no stinger. In a dearth, the drone bees get kicked out of the hive. The queen bee lives 4-5 years. When she is born, she seeks out all of the other baby queen bees and kills them.
