In honor of the makers of the greatest sandwich spread on earth, I present to you these bee-utiful innovations. Many people don't realize just how important honey bees are to our society. Without them, we wouldn't enjoy many of the fine crops we do today.
As a testament to their plant pollination and the sweet, sticky treat they produce, we build monuments in their image--everything from light fixtures to full scale buildings. Take a look through these bee-utiful innovations, and you'll be craving a PB and honey sandwich in no time.
