A single bee can collect about 1/12 teaspoon of honey in its lifetime, so it would take the life's work of about 560 workers to make one pound of honey. For this they would have to collect nectar from about two million flowers, and fly a total of about 55,000 miles (88,000 kilometres).
Bees will usually forage within a radius of three miles (five kilometres) from the hive, but have been known to go as far as five miles (eight kilometres). Having said that, they will only go as far as they need to go: if there is good forage nearby they won't go any further.
Bees normally forage within about a three mile (five kilometre) radius from the hive.
In its lifetime one bee will collect about 1/12 teaspoon of honey, so one pound of honey is the life's work of about 560 bees.
The total distance travelled by the bees for a pound of honey adds up to about 55,000 miles on average -- more than twice around the world.
To make a pound of honey the bees need to visit about two million flowers, and in doing this they will fly something like 55,000 miles -- the equivalent of more than twice around the world.
Usually up to two miles but they can go further if necessary.
It is estimated a bee uses about 0.5 mg of honey per kilometre, so on that basis she could fly 2,000 kilometres on 1 gram of honey.
I wish my car could do as well as that!

Bees are generally not active at night. Bees are attracted to light, so if they are flying at night, they generally will fly towards an electric light.
Bees innate behaviors are to fly, seek food and bring food back to the family of bees. Bees are adapted to darkness and do not limit themselves between flying at night or day time.
