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

Nov 13, 2003; 02:57PM - A Windy East Cape, Hot Zihuatanejo
|
|
Category: Saltwater Fly Fishing Reports
|

Author Name: Gary Graham

REPORT FROM GARY GRAHAM'S BAJA ON THE FLY:
PROVIDING QUALITY SALTWATER FLY-FISHING 365 DAYS A YEAR IN BAJA FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: bajafly@usa.net; USA toll-free (800) 919-2252; Mexico 011-52-624-14-10373
Thurs., Nov. 13, 2003 Report covers the period Sat.-Thurs. (11/06 - 11/13 )
EAST CAPE, MAGDALENA BAY, ZIHUATANEJO, MEXICO; AND IZTAPA, GUATEMALA CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: Skip Smith, Toronto, Ont., Canada, and Walter Johns, from Seattle, Wash., had a couple of good days pitting their flyrod skills against dorado hiding under some flotsam. The golden ones ranged from small to 40 pounds. Toss in a few small tuna and the guys were grinning from ear-to-ear back at the hotel bar. Not bad for a windy week at East Cape.
AIR & SEA -
Water temperature 78°-84°
Air temperature 77° - 82°
Humidity about 83%
Wind WNW at 8 mph
Conditions clear
Visibility 8 miles
Sunrise 6:31 a.m. MST
Sunset 5:34 p.m. MST
Nov. 16 Last Quarter, Nov 23 New, Nov. 30 First Quarter, Dec.8 Full
o OFFSHORE: A few blues and stripes to go along with the sails still hanging
around. Tuna were a little tougher this week.
o INSHORE: Mooring buoys in front of all the hotels are a good place to look
for small dorado, jacks and, if you are lucky, a small rooster or two.
o BEACH: Ladyfish at Rancho Leonero, jacks and pompano near Punta Colorada.
BILLFISH - Sailfish still the most consistent.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Slowed down somewhat.
DORADO - Right place, right time can make you smile.
ROOSTERFISH - Pretty tough except for a few small guys.
JACK CREVALLE - Both La Ribera and Punta Colorada.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Same as the tuna . . . stop the wind and they
bite.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - A few of the reefs producing good catches.
SIERRA - They're back.
MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: By all reports, the outside action slowed way down this week. Yachts began arriving for a tournament this week and I suspect someone will find the herd. Yellowtail are at both the entrada and entrance to Santa Maria Bay closer to Punta Hughes on the north side. Esteros are still on fire for corvina and pompano. Snook continue to be their elusive selves and a few leopard groupers to round out the catch list.
Water Temperature 67°-78°
Air Temperature 67°- 80°
Humidity 82%
Wind NW at 2 mph
Conditions Haze
Visibility 6 miles
Sunrise 6:31 a.m. MST

Nov. 16 Last Quarter, Nov 23 New, Nov. 30 First Quarter, Dec.8 Full
YELLOWTAIL - Either bay entrance producing good catches under the bird
schools.
CORVINA - Still on the chew, eating practically anything that hits the water.
SNOOK - They are ready to play, are you?
HALIBUT - Flat rascals rule if you have a chartreuse fly.
SIERRA - Under the bird schools in the open water of the bay if you care.
ZIHUATANEJO, MAINLAND MEXICO
IN GENERAL: If the full moon is affecting our fishing, I can't wait to see how good it is going to be in another week as the cycle ends. The 82º cobalt blue water is at 9 miles and we are finding fish at 11 miles.
Most every boat fishing conventional gear is averaging about 3 to 4 sailfish a day. Today, fly-fishing client Norman Turgeon of Seattle, Wash., fished with Martin and me on the panga “Isamar.” He hooked two sailfish, both released. We estimated one of the fish at 100 pounds, or perhaps 5- or 10-pounds larger. I wrote 100-pounds and 10-feet long on the tag release card.
About 12 miles south of Zihuatanejo Bay, inshore fishing for jack crevalle has really gotten hot. These fish are averaging 15-pounds and are in huge numbers. We are also still getting very good numbers of 30- to 40-pound roosterfish in the back edge of the surf lines.
Water Temperature 75º-86º
Air Temperature 78°-93º
Humidity 66%
Wind Calm
Conditions Partly Cloudy (FEW) : 10,000 ft

Baja on the Fly's Zihuatanejo report by Ed Kunze
IZTAPA, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: The run to the fishing grounds is still a long trip, averaging 40 miles, but the distance gets shorter each day. In the last week only 3 of the local fleet were out. Results were fairly good despite the weather which was not very cooperative in the afternoons. The boats fly-fishing were able to raise 44 sails and release 23, and the conventional gear boat released 6 out of 10 in one day. In addition, all the boats had some good action on dorado. Once again this week there was no one out trying the inshore waters, but every time someone does, they have great results with roosters in the 30- to 40-pound class.
If you are headed down to Guatemala, be sure to ask about a half day inshore trip on the day you arrive. You will not be disappointed. At the end of this week the wrap-up event of the 2003 Presidential Challenge will be run in Guatemala, so there will be a lot more boats out and the report next week should be interesting! Guatemala will also host the ILTTA tournament in the spring, March 14 -20, 2004.
Water Temperature 80º-85º
Air Temperature 82°-84º
