Honey
Bees visit 4 million flowers to make one kilo (2 pounds) of honey. The
typical bee visits 50-100 flowers in every single trip. Thus, to
produce 1 kilo of honey, bees travels a distance equal to 4 times the
circumference of the earth. Each American consumes 1 pound (a half
kilo) of honey a year.
It takes the lifetime of 12 bees to produce one teaspoon of honey.
Bees have been producing honey for 10-12 million years.

Hygiene, Personal
Personal hygiene was rediscovered only in the late 19th century,
having been popular in ancient Greece and Rome almost two thousand
years before.
Water was considered by the sophisticates - perhaps justly - to be the
carrier of disease. Bathing in water was a hazardous exercise. Royalty
used milk instead. Others were confined to wet towels or to splashing
water from basins on one's face and armpits. The great unwashed
utilized public baths, built throughout Europe between the 12th and
17th centuries.
Consider the Spanish Queen Isabella of Castile, of Christopher
Columbus fame.
