Taking a trip back to science class is deliciously enlightening.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://chefgreypoupon.com/2007/11/13/how-honey-is-made/">Honey, of course, is produced by honey bees and is derived from the nectar of flowers.  The bees produce the honey as a food source to sustain them as their source of energy.  In each hive there are three kinds of bees:  the queen bee, 50,000-70,000 worker bees and 2,000 drones.  Needless to say, the worker bees are the busiest.  It is their job to raise the larvae and to collect the nectar.  In a lifespan that averages only three to six weeks, the worker bees each collect about one teaspoon of nectar.  It takes four pounds of nectar—two million flowers—to make one pound of honey!</blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://nachofoto.com/photo-of-Honey-Made-4a6ba480a0f1" href="http://nachofoto.com/photo-of-Honey-Made-4a6ba480a0f1" style="font-size: 11px;">nachofoto.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://nachofoto.com/photo-of-Honey-Made-4a6ba480a0f1"><table background="undefined" bgcolor=""><tr><TD width="100%" colspan="3"></TD></tr></table></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DF72F2F4-2E24-4C6F-9265-C067BC5D42B1/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
