National Honey Bee Day with the 77s Event Cache

A day to honor the insect responsible for 1/3rd of the food we eat and their beekeepers.

It is the only insect that produces food eaten by man.

Honey is the only food that includes all the substances necessary to sustain life, including enzymes, vitamins, minerals and water.  Its the only food that containes pinocembrin, an antioxidant associated with improved brain functioning.

The honey bee's wings stroke at 200 beats per second, making the distinctive buzz.

The average worker bee lives for just 6 to 8 weeks and produces only about 1/12th teaspoon of honey in her lifetime.  Yes her, only female honey bees work, the males are for mating with the queen bee only.  Worker females fly the equivalent of 1 1/2 times the circumference of the earth, and the most common death is wearing their wings out.
