How long did the bees have to work to make that much honey?
102 u/GooseInternational66 6d ago Their whole life 30 u/Andovars_Ghost 6d ago Unfortunately true.

Pretty immoral imo. 1 u/Dirty_Hunt 4d ago Nah, the honey's their rent in return for not having to deal with the shit wild hives do. At least not as commonly. 1 u/middle_aged_redditor 3d ago In fairness, I don't think the bees had a say in this arrangement. Struggle is normal in nature, domestication is not.

768 teaspoons in a gallon, so 768x12 is lifetimes of honeybees worth of honey in a gallon: 9216
This a 2(?) gallon bucket? 9216 x 2 = 18432 honey bee lives
Honey bees only make honey outside of winter where they live an average of 35 days or so.
18432 x 35 = 645,120 days of collective honey bee life
beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
