There are more 16,000 different kinds of Bees...16,000!!! They're found on every continent on Earth- expect Antarctica - and they've been on this planet for 30 Million years! More than 75% of the crops in the world that we eat depend on animal pollination. And bees carry out most of that! So they're pretty important. So much so that Albert Einstein once said, “If the bee disappears from the surface of the Earth, man would have no more than four years left to live.” Whoa! Move over zombies. So, we're lucky in many ways that we live in a world with bees, not least of which is that without bees we'd have no honey, and without honey we wouldn't have mead! On this episode of the #DrinkingSocially podcast, hosts Harrison Hickok and Jon Dispenza are drinking the once mysterious but now extremely popular elixir that is mead and unlocking the "Hey Honey" badge in the process. We couldn't BEE more excited!
