It takes the labor of 12 worker bees their whole lifetime just to make one teaspoonful of honey. The life cycle of bees runs only six to eight weeks. What these small creatures are able to make in their brief lives is no light matter. But above all, and of much greater value, is the work they accomplish by the pollination of flowers and plants. It is said that Albert Einstein once said, "If the bees disappeared off the face of the Earth, man would only have four years left to live."
