This unique serving pot is sure to be a conversation starter. Want some fun talking points to show off your knowledge of bees, honey and wax? Tell them that bees need to visit about a million flowers to make the honey in this beeswax pot. One bee makes only 1/12 a teaspoon of honey in her lifetime. A honeybee visits 50-100 flowers each trip and a colony of bees is about 40,000 bees (give or take 20,000.) Only female bees make honey; in fact, they do ALL the work in the hive. Male bees consume resources, mate with a neighboring queen, then die after mating because their insides get ripped out in the process. Beeswax is made by "teenager" female bees. It is secreted out of wax producing glands on their abdomen. Beeswax itself is white and gets its golden hue from pollen and propolis (which is made mostly out of tree resin.
