Honey Fuel

If it takes two table spoons of honey to fuel a bees flight around the world, it would take 48 bees a lifetime to produce enough honey for this adventure. Since a honey bee only produces 1/12 of a teaspoon in their life which can last for 6 to 8 weeks, this bee has to pre plan his venture before birth for it to be successful. Or perhaps it should just travel by plane to play it safe.
