Propolis – The Natural Antibiotic Video
There’s little doubt that most people have heard about the health benefits of honey – immune and DNA protection are just two of them – but fewer people are probably familiar with propolis.
Thousands of years ago, ancient civilizations used propolis for its medicinal properties. Greeks used it to treat abscesses. Assyrians put it on wounds and tumors to fight infection and help the healing process.
Royal Jelly increases skin hydration index by 60%
While boosting production of new skin in recent studies
by Angela Van Alten, Nutritionist and Beekeeper’s Daughter
10-HDA, a natural fatty acid only found in royal jelly is revealing itself to be of tremendous value when it comes to treating dry skin.
Scientists did several tests on royal jelly. First, they evaluated the activity of 10-HDA on the regulation of skin differentiation markers. They then measured how royal jelly affected the inflammatory response and restored skin barrier function. And lastly, they evaluated royal jelly’s effect on xerosis, which is an abnormal dryness of the skin.
What they found was that 10-HDA not only increased skin protein production (new skin growth) but that it was also highly anti-inflammatory. Inflammed skin shows up as red and sore, acne prone, excessively dry and even as a psoriasis or eczema.
They also found that in healthy volunteers with dry skin, the hydration index increased by +28.8% and +60.4% after 7 and 21 days of treatment with a cream containing 10-HDA.
Royal Jelly Improves Skin Hydration
In another study, scientists examined whether consuming royal jelly daily could influence the hydration levels of the epidermis. The epidermis is the outer most layer of the skin and what we see when we look in the mirror. If you desire to have beautiful skin, your epidermis is vitally important to take care of.
It is also important to know that epidermal hydration is maintained by the epidermal lipid barrier. These lipids provide a barrier against the movement of water and electrolytes as well as a barrier against microorganism invasion. They also stop bacteria and viruses from entering your body through the skin.
During the study, mice were fed a control diet or diets with 1% RJ for 16 weeks. In the control group who were not fed any royal jelly, epidermal levels of hydration were lower than in the group that received royal jelly. The reason for this suggested the researchers was because of enhanced Ceramide metabolism caused by the royal jelly.
Ceramide is the major component of the epidermis and make up about 20 percent of the skin’s intercellular matrix, the glue that holds skin cells together and helps skin maintain its appearance while protecting it. By enhancing the body’s ability to metabolize ceramides, royal jelly led to enhanced moisture content and healthier, better looking skin
How to Treat Dry Skin With Royal Jelly At Home
It is very clear that royal jelly increases the moisture content of your skin. So how do you use it to maximize the health of your skin? To incorporate royal jelly into your skin health program, try incorporating one of the many royal jelly products available. You can find it in soaps, capsules, creams and liquids. Not only will your skin take on a healthy, blemish free glow, but as your collagen levels begin to increase you’ll experience tighter, firmer skin and the renewed sense of confidence that accompanies better skin health.
- Royal Jelly Capsules: Take two or three 1000 mg capsules per day as an ‘internal cosmetic.’ Remember that your skin is an organ and should be cared for internally as well as topically. Start with one capsule per day for one week and then increase only after tolerating well. CLICK FOR PRODUCTS
Efficacy of Natural Honey Treatment in Patients With Novel Coronavirus
NIH Clinical Trials.Gov
Currently no treatment has been proved to be efficient in the treatment of infected patients by COVID-19. Natural honey has been demonstrated as potent antimicrobial in many research investigations and has been considered a good alternative for antiviral drugs for the treatment of some viral infections. The investigators aim to study the efficacy of natural honey in the treatment of COVID-19 patients

Bee Superfoods Promote Health
The Egyptians wrote about it back in 5500 B.C., the Indians used it for their religious ceremonies in 1000 B.C. and even the Babylonians have been noted to use it in their medicinal practices. The western world actually discovered the benefits of bee superfoods by accident during an investigation of native Russian Beekeepers who regularly lived past 100 years of age who ate raw honey, rich in bee pollen, every day. Here are three superfoods:
10 Ways Health Improved By Eating 1 Spoon of Bee Pollen
Bee Pollen is made by honeybees, and is the food of the young bee. It is considered one of nature’s most completely nourishing foods as it contains nearly all nutrients required by humans. Bee-gathered pollens are rich in proteins (approximately 40% protein), free amino acids and vitamins, including the B-complex, and folic acid.
Bee pollen is a complete food and contains many elements that products of animal origin do not possess. Bee pollen is richer in proteins than any animal source. It contains more amino acids than beef, eggs, or cheese of equal weight. About half of its protein is in the form of free amino acids that are ready to be used directly by the body.

Powerful Antiviral Drink with Only 3 Ingredients
Below, we will share a powerful antiviral drink with you that combines the power of three very healthy ingredients to give your immune system the necessary nutrients.
Your body is exposed to a large number of factors and situations every day that can cause infections from viruses, bacteria, or fungus. Luckily, your immune system is in charge of taking on all of those micro-organisms that can cause health problems.
However, a sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, sudden changes in climate, or a lack of physical exercise, among other factors, can cause this system to weaken. Even more, it can make you more susceptible to suffering from different diseases caused by all of these micro-organisms.

Climate change is killing bumblebees
Climate change is killing bumblebees: Study
Chemicals are routinely applied around residential landscapes to kill insect pests and troublesome weeds, but many are indiscriminate and devastate pollinators in the process.
Over the past 30-plus years, pollinator populations have crashed worldwide due to a variety of reasons, including pesticide and herbicide exposure, invasive pests and diseases, loss of habitat, loss of species and genetic diversity, and a changing climate, scientists say.

Bumblebees Face Climate Crisis Extinction
Rampant pesticide use and habitat loss has already crippled bumblebee populations. New research now shows that warming temperatures around the world will further push bumblebees to the brink of extinction, as The New York Times reported.
The loss of bumblebees spells trouble for plant biodiversity since they are some of the most important pollinators in the world. Bumblebees pollinate and fertilize a wide array of plants and crops, including tomatoes, blueberries and squash. However, if you are in North America, you are nearly 50 percent less likely to see a bumblebee in any given area than you were prior to 1974, according to the new research, as National Geographic reported.
The new research, published in the journal Science, employed a massive dataset and a complex modeling system to look at bee populations and to find the reason for their decline. The researchers found that bee populations have experienced the largest decline in places that have warmed at a faster rate than the rest of the planet.
