## Caption

In its lifetime, a single bee can only produce around 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey 🍯

They have been known to 'steal' the honey of other bee colonies, when nectar sources are low, or if their own colonies are struggling. However, this may result in a fight to the death, with 'guard bees' protecting their own honey sources.
