The Busy Bee Basket

And labor she does, as it takes 2 million bee journeys to make a pound of honey, and in an abundant season one colony can produce 100 pounds! Not to mention pounds of beeswax they create from nectar which they mold to hold their bounty. No wonder through the ages humans have marveled at the abilities of the bees and have honored them as symbols of royalty, truth, wisdom, domestic peace and harmony. Bring all these gifts into your home and reap the benefits of our busy bees.

If little things with great we may compare,

Such are the bees, and such their busy care.

They work their waxen lodgings in their hives,

They labor honey to sustain their lives.

- Virgil (Roman Poet 70 - 19 B.C.)
