Aug 1, 2023; 07:26AM - They Don't Teach You This About Honey Bees in Schools
|
|
Category: [other]
|
|
Author Name: @TheWarKitchen
|
Tip&Trick Description 1:
1. Honey is the only food that has every single substance to sustain life.
2. Honey doesn't ever turn bad. You can actually eat honey that was found in Egyptian tombs
thousands of years ago. (if you dare) ‼ï¸
3. A single bee produces just HALF a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. Hard work.
4. The darker the honey, the more powerful its medicinal properties and the less sweet it is.
The inverse also holds true.
5. Honey is the original antibiotic. It's been used as an antibacterial and antifungal for
generations.
6. Honey is a natural sleeping pill. Consuming honey aids with the production of melatonin.
Drink a warm cup of chamomile and take a shot of honey to the dome. Game changer.
7. You don't need to wash your honey dipper if you leave it in the jar of honey itself. Honey
is a natural preservative, so bacteria will not grow.
8. To make one pound of honey, bees need to visit 2 million flowers. 2 MILLION.
|
|
Tip&Trick Description 2:
9. Honey is the only food made by an insect that's actually eaten by BOTH the insect and us.
We're literally best friends.
10. Honey is one of the original remedies for an everyday cough & allergies. Local honey is
said to be useful in curing seasonal allergies.
11. Bees don't sleep. Work hard. Play hard.
12. Honey is excellent on burns. Cool the burn in running water. Pat it dry. Apply raw, organic
honey. It will speed up healing and even reduce any eventual scarring.
13. Babies under 12 months of age shouldn't ingest honey (their immune system isn't yet strong
enough to handle a certain strain of bacteria that's quite prevalent in honey)
14. Honey, like a lot of 'animal-based' products have a myriad of topical and oral applications
that make it incredibly versatile. Nature's all purpose drug.
15. The only honey that exists in my world is raw, organic unfiltered honey. To pasteurize
honey is to ruin the work of thousands of bees. You are literally a war criminal.
16. Everyone raves about Manuka honey, but the real ones have tried Jarrah. If you know, you
know.
17. Honey is one of the best hydration sources in the world. Honey > Pre Workout.
18. Honey is nature's moisturizer. |

18. Honey is nature's moisturizer.
19. Royal jelly is a special compound that worker bees secret; so potent it can transform an
ordinary bee into a queen bee. It's like a concentrated, supercharged version of honey.
20. The honey bee is a crucial part of our ecosystem. Without their help, over a third of all
food eaten in America wouldn't exist.
21. Honey should be a key ingredient in shampoos. Cleopatra did it. Why shouldn't we?
22. Bees communicate with other bees by dancing. That's how they signal where the best flowers
are. Seems familiar...
23. Honey is a source of flavanoids and phenolic acids — antioxidants which have been studied
to have incredible anti-inflammatory and even anti-cancer properties.
24. The hexagonal shape of honeycomb cells is a MARVEL. How did they know to use hexagons?
Hexagons are the most efficient shape to store the maximum amount of honey with the least
amount of wax needed to build. Geniuses.
To the anti-honey community:
When we eat honey we are NOT stealing from bees. It's a symbiotic relationship. We protect them
from the harsh conditions of nature, giving them a safe space to have their fun and make their
vomit.
They are so happy that they usually produce more honey than they could ever physically consume.
By consuming their excess honey, we are actually helping them restore balance in the hive.
So yes people, eat more honey. Buy all the varieties. Gift it to everyone around you. And
always remember to give thanks to our wonderful striped yellow friends

Jan 10, 2004; 09:49AM - East Cape Wind Guatemala Sails
|
|
Category: Saltwater Fly Fishing Reports
|
|
Author Name: Gary Graham
|
Fri., Jan. 09, 2004. Report covers the period Sat.-Thurs. (1/02 - 1/8)
EAST CAPE, MAGDALENA BAY, ZIHUATANEJO, MEXICO; AND IZTAPA, GUATEMALA
CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: Typical winter conditions with a few good days and others
that . . . well, as for the wind, “thar she blows.” With only a few
boats heading out, it is tough to get a clear and accurate idea of the
conditions.
AIR & SEA -
Water temperature 67°-73°
Air temperature 59° - 74°
Humidity about 68%
Wind North at 10 mph
Conditions Clear
Visibility 12 miles
Sunrise 7:01 a.m. MST
Sunset 5:49 p.m. MST
Jan. 14 Last Quarter, Jan. 21 New, Jan. 28 First Quarter, Feb. 6 Full
o OFFSHORE: There are a few dorado to be found under the shark buoys
off of Punta Pescadero, which is a pretty good direction to head. If the
north wind kicks up it is a nicer ride home.
o INSHORE: Sierra continue to be the best action. There are a few
jacks and pompano in front of La Ribera.
o BEACH: All the hotels had some action out in front for sierra early
morning. It is mostly an early morning deal and over by 9 a.m. at the
latest.
BILLFISH – A few here and there, sure no concentration. The lucky ones
stumble on one and claim it’s skill. The unlucky ones claim it is slow
fishing.
YELLOWFIN TUNA – They will be back.
DORADO – Patience pays off at Pecadero, find the right shark buoy and it
is smiles all around.
ROOSTERFISH – Not much to talk about.
JACK CREVALLE – Right place, right time, look for birds and bait.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK – A few bonito and that is about it.
PARGO AND CABRILLA – Not much to report.
SIERRA - Gray light just at dawn is best before the sun gets too high.
MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: Peter Chan and Susan Rosen, New York, finished up their
spur-of-the-moment trip with an impressive list of species including
cabrilla, leopard grouper, corvina, pompano, barracuda and tales of
disappearing fly lines. (Sounds like someone got snookered.) Outside on
a 210 heading 17-20 miles, the yellowfin tuna were ready to rumble and
there were several gorilla class (100 pounds) reported by several of
the local pangeros.
Water Temperature 66°-74°
Air Temperature 64°- 73°
Humidity 59%
Wind NW 6 mph
Conditions Scattered Clouds.
Visibility 3 miles
Sunrise 7:13 a.m. MST
Sunset 5:53 p.m. MST
Jan. 14 Last Quarter, Jan. 21 New, Jan. 28 First Quarter, Feb. 6 Full
YELLOWTAIL – Lots to look at, unfortunately not very aggressive.
CORVINA – 2004 hasn’t slowed them down a bit.
SNOOK – Just when you decide there aren’t any, something takes your fly
and never stops. Hmmm . . .
HALIBUT – It has slowed down a bit. You need to find the right sandy
beach now.
SIERRA – Slow but steady.
ZIHUATANEJO, MAINLAND MEXICO
IN GENERAL: The 80º blue water is still holding at 6 miles and, even
with the full moon, the sailfish are cooperating. Almost every boat is
raising between 8 and 12 fish a day, with many boats hooking as many as
7 to 8 fish each.
A few 25-pound class dorado are being caught, but only by about one boat
in five.
The roosterfish action has slowed down considerably, with Pete Richards
of Charlotte, N.C. getting the largest one of the week, a 42-pounder.
The jack crevalle action is very good, with the 12- to 20-pound jacks
busting bait about a 1/4 mile off the beach.
There is still no sign of the tuna.
Water Temperature 79º-86º
Air Temperature 75° - 89º
Humidity 83%
Wind Calm
Conditions Partly Cloudy (FEW) : 6,000 ft
Visibility 10 miles
