Math in every day life - honeycomb

We have been using photos in our class to stimulate math thinking in our every day lives.  We are getting very good at thinking of all sorts of math questions for ordinary, every day photos.  Yesterday we looked at a picture of honey comb and here are some of the questions we came up with...

how many bees did it take to make it?

How many days does it take to make the honey?

How many holes are there?

How much honey can fit in there?

How many litres can the bees put in the honeycomb?

How much honey can they make in a day?

How many flowers do the bees need to make a litre of honey?

How many flowers do the bees visit in an hour?

How much honey do they need to fill up a honeycomb - one hole?

How many bees does it to make 1 litre?

How long does a bee stay out for to collect honey?

How many days does it take to make the honeycomb?
