Mesquite honey is made by bees. Apiculturists place bee hives in areas with many mesquite trees and the bees do all the work. The bees drink nectar from the mesquite flowers and use it to make their honey. Man only has to harvest the honey at the end on the season.
In its lifetime, a honey bee only collects enough nectar to make about 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey. In order to collect one kilo of honey the bees would have had to have flown the equivalent of nearly 200,000 kilometres while foraging.
Bees make honey from it.
Well, isn't that just a happy little misconception! You see, not all bees make honey. Only honeybees, which are a specific type of bee, make honey. There are many different types of bees, each with their own special roles in the ecosystem. It's important to appreciate and celebrate the diversity of our buzzy little friends!
A swarm of honey bees can have as many as 25,000 bees in it.
Bee can get honey 2 to 3 times a year. Honey from bees are a seasonal thing.
Between them the bees will make between 25 and 30 thousand foraging trips to collect enough nectar to make a pound of honey, and in the process they will visit something in the order of two million flowers.

There are approximately 4500-5000 honey bees in a pound. So in 3 pounds, there would be around 13,500-15,000 honey bees.
Both are economically significant insects. Honey bees are also important pollinators of many plants.
