Dear Members,

It takes twelve bees, each visiting about 150 flowers to withdraw nectar, to make a single teaspoon of honey (a quick Google search with the consensus of numerous honeybee organizations). Each bee will fly up to five miles to harvest from a good nectar source. Your LWV of Alachua County has been busy as bees. And that’s saying something!
