60,000 bees with 55,000 miles to 2 million flowers for 1 pound of honey.
Quoting: Coming Into Existence [ link to www.livescience.com (secure)] Pollen-starved bumblebees bite 'half-moons' into plants to make them bloom
Scientists don't yet know when or how the behavior evolved.
Bee-bitten plants bear flowers about two weeks to a month sooner than untouched plants, according to a new study, published today (May 21) in the journal Science. Researchers attempted to recreate these bee-bite patterns using metal forceps and a razor, but even then, the damage inflicted by bees boosted flower production more effectively than the scientists could; bee-bitten plants bloomed eight to 25 days before the artificially damaged ones did, depending on the plant species.
