The bee lives less than 40 days, visit at least 1000 flowers and produces less than a teaspoon of honey.
For us it's only a teaspoon of honey, but for the bee it's a lifetime of work.
Thank you, bees!

The John 10:10 Project
Premiered Oct 8, 2023
For more than 20 centuries, mathematicians, artists and engineers have marveled at the structure of the honeybee hive. Comprised of thousands of perfect hexagonal cells, every inch of a honeycomb wall is a masterpiece of design. Now, recent discoveries have cast even greater light on the bee’s architectural abilities with stunning new evidence of purpose, foresight and cognitive decision-making by insects with brains smaller than a sesame seed.
