World Honey Production
Annual, world honey production is somewhere around 1.2 million tonnes. Reliable statistics are difficult to obtain because beekeeping is very widely practised on a small scale. In every country, small-scale beekeepers trade honey locally, and their produce is unlikely to be included in global production figures.
One Kg of honey
To produce 1kg of honey requires bees to visit several million flowers and to fly a total flight path equal in distance to six orbits around the earth!
