"A person
could literally live on 35grams of Bee Pollen er day, satisfying all
the human body's nutritional requirements."

My hives collect around 100 gr of pollen per day, during late spring and
middle summer, lets say 3 months per year. Therefore I will need 4 hives to
collect my yearly requirement, without killing the colonies.

If that is a common average around the world, we will need some
6.000.000.000 x 4 = 24.000.000.000 hives to feed the world with the best
protein source around.

How far are we from that figure?
