So the bee flourisheth (about 42 days)

For He knoweth our frame - He remembereth that we are dust.

As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall remember it no more.

 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him, and

His righteousness unto children's children,

To such as keep His covenant and those that remember His commandments to do them.

Psalm 103:14-18

A worker bee in the summer will live for about 4 to 6 weeks.

In that time she will produce about 1/12th teaspoon of honey!

I guess that is why it is so good to the last drop.
