The bee has aptly been described as 'busy'.
To produce one kilogram of honey, the bee MUST visit 56000 clover heads. Since each flower head has 60 flower tubes, a total of 3,360,000 visits are necessary to give us that kilogram of honey for our breakfast table. Meanwhile, a worker bee has flown the equivalent of three times around the world.
Moral: Let us learn from the persistence of the bee. It is quite unfortunate that many times we are nearer to our goals than we think we are; so, never give up - persist.
Always remember, it is often too soon to quit.
Persistence Pays!
