Here's a few interesting facts about bees, honey and beeswax:
- Americans eat more honey than we produce. (Side note: If we eat more than we produce....then where is it coming from? If you don't know your beekeeper then I'd question the honey source. Buy local!)
- Honey is the only food that if kept in it's natural state is good forever. Natural state means if it's kept in it's wax comb it will not spoil.
- It takes 1,152 bees to travel 112,000 miles and 4.5 million flower visits to produce a single pound of honey.
- All pure, raw honey will crystallize. If it doesn't crystallize it may not be pure or raw. All Neuhaus Wild Flower Honey is pure and raw.
- It's said that for 8-9 pounds of honey produced the bees produce 1 pound of wax for it's storage.
