Honey contains all of the substances needed to sustain life including water, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. A colony of bees can contain 20,000-60,000 bees, but it has only one queen bee that can lay up to 2,000 eggs a day.
Worldwide, there are around 20,000 different bee species.

Bees are essential for human life on this planet. They pollinate 33% of our fruit, vegetable and nut plants grown for human consumption today. Without them, many of our plants would die.
Bees are the only insect in the world that produces food (honey) that people can eat.
