Measurements, assumptions & sources +
Blueberry
A defined cultivated blueberry 16 mm across and 2 g. Cultivar and growing conditions vary; the calyx tips are excluded from the diameter.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked defined maximum fruit diameter is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
Honeybee
A 15 mm worker honeybee (Apis mellifera), at the upper end of the cited 10–15 mm worker range. Body length excludes antennae, legs and wings. The 100 mg mass is a separate illustrative assumption.
University of Michigan — Apis mellifera
The marked body length is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Why this measurement?
Why we use 1.6 cm
For comparison, this page uses defined maximum fruit diameter. This is labelled defined specimen: an explicit comparison model rather than a claim that every example has the same value. The recorded range is 1 cm to 2 cm.

The marked horizontal span follows the named feature; transparent margins and unmeasured details do not alter it. How calibrated comparisons work →
