Here are a few that I got from the National Honey Board:
 
   How many flowers must honey bees visit to make one pound of honey?  2
million
   How far does a hive of bees fly to to bring us one pound of honey?
55,000 miles
   How much honey would it take to fuel a bee's flight around the world?
About 2 tablespoons (one ounce)
