• Honey, the food of Gods
  Honey is the only food that includes
  all the substances necessary to sustain life,
  including enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and water;
  it's also the only food that contains "pinocembrin",
  an antioxidant associated with improved brain functioning.
• Not just the honey money...
  In the UK about 70 crops are dependent
  or benefit from, visits from bees. Bees pollinate
  the flowers of many plants which become
  part of the feed of farm animals.
  The economic value of honey bees and
  bumble bees as pollinators of
  commercially grown insect pollinated crops
  in the UK has been estimated at over
  £200 million
• How Far!
  Bees fly the equivalent of more than twice around the world to gather a pound of honey.
  A single worker bee gathers in her entire life
  1/10 tsp of honey...
  and It takes two million flowers to make one pound of honey?
  
• How old is old...
  Honey collection is an ancient activity.
  Humans apparently began hunting for honey
  at least 8,000 years ago,
  as evidenced shows in
  a cave painting in Valencia, Spain
