A bee collects nectar on the flowers of plum

Some interesting facts about bees and honey:

In order to collect only 1 kilogram of honey, bees must visit 10 million flowers, just to do 150,000 flights and fly 300,000 kilometers.

Bee collecting honey, visits 50 to 100 flowers per 1 flight.

A bee can make an average of only 1/12 teaspoon of honey for their lives.

A bee in one flight can bring 40-50 mg of flower nectar. However, while the bee is in flying to their hive, it feeds on nectar. If need to fly away, the bee brings only 30-40% of what is collected.

Декілька цікавих фактів про бджоли та мед:
Для того, щоб зібрати всього 1 кілограм меду, бджолі необхідно відвідати 10 мільйонів квіток, так само потрібно зробити 150000 вильотів і пролетіти при цьому 300 000 кілометрів.
 Бджола, що збирає мед, відвідує від 50 до 100 квітів за 1 виліт.
Одна бджола за один виліт здатна принести 40-50 мг квіткового нектару. Однак, поки бджола перебуває в польоті до свого вулика, вона харчується нектаром. Якщо летіти потрібно далеко, то бджола приносить тільки 30-40% того, що зібрала.

This photo clearly shows the nectar that is collected bee.

На цьому фото чітко видно нектар, який зібрала бджола.

Really beautiful Blossoms and Light...Very good Job, my Friend !

Thank you, I long wait for an opportunity to make this picture because a few days before was gray and gloomy weather, not typical for spring

This is true and a photographer would like to have bright light for his pictures :)

the yellow thing on it's legs is flower pollen. They use it to feed the larva.
nice pictures!

Thank you for the clarification!
