"Busy as a bee" is a saying for a reason—colonies of bees work tirelessly to convert nectar into honey to eat when the flowers aren't blooming. However, each bee certainly can't do it alone. An individual bee will only make about one-twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in its entire lifetime. Luckily, a single colony usually contains between 20,000 and 60,000 bees and honey is a very high-energy food. It contains natural preservatives, meaning that honey is one of the very few foods that, if stored properly, will never go bad.
