Honey Holidays

Wow.
Sent 10 jars of honey to my mom's friend in Portland Maine. She is an amazing photographer named Winky Lewis. When she opened the package she took these pictures. Yes, when shipping honey we have learned to put them in a little bag...otherwise the entire package could be drenched in honey.

Thank You Ms. Lewis.

Yup, all honey.

Honey Bees

A Taste of the Honey Business

The bees of America have been working hard all summer: To make a pound of honey, they have to fly the equivalent of eight roundtrips between New York and Paris. Now it's time to enjoy the fructose of their labor. Have a taste of the facts and figures on honey.

Last year, 161 million pounds of honey were produced in the U.S., up 8% from 2007.

 

North Dakota produced 35 million pounds, worth $47.4 million -- more than any other state. 

Häagen-Dazs has donated $500,000 to Penn State and UC Davis for Bee research; 50% of its flavors are made with ingredients requiring bee pollination. 

Honey bee pollination supports $15 billion worth of agriculture in the U.S.

Crops such as apples cherries, and avocados are 90% dependent on it. 

1,600 commercial beekeeping ooperations produce 60% of American honey.

The world's most expensive honey is Believed to be Trgothnan manuka honey from Britain. 

Only 100 4-ounce jars are made per year; each sells for $80, about $11 a teaspoon.

California, which produces more than half of the world's almonds, needs almost 1 million colonies of honey Bees to pollinate that crop.

The U.S. had 2.3 millon honey-producing Bee colonies in 2008. 

Honey bees tap 2 million flowers and fly more than 55,000 miles to make one pound of honey. 

Wholesale honey prices rose in 2008 to an all-time high of $1.41 per pound, up 30% from 2007. 

The average American consumes 1.29 pounds of honey a year. 

The mysterious Colony Collapse Disorder has killed more than 33% of U.S. commercial honey Bees since 2006.

 

There average worker bee makes 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.
