Eat Honey Every Day

If you eat honey every day, you’ll soon realize its true benefits, which humans have been reaping from the hard work of bees for millennia. Its delicious nectar is found on every continent except Antartica.

According to a 2017 study, “honey is used not only as a nutritional product but also in health described in traditional medicine and as an alternative treatment for clinical conditions ranging from wound healing to cancer treatment.” The study goes on to elaborate that “evidence from Stone Age paintings shows treatment of disease with bee product such as honey originated from 8000 years ago.”

Difference Between Raw Honey and Regular Honey

Difference

There is an entire alphabet of honey from acacia to wildflower, but beyond the difference in floral varieties, there are other types too. We’re taking a deeper look at the difference between raw honey and regular honey. But first, a little bit about honey in general.

Honey, or apiculture (the technical term for beekeeping), is big business these days due to the variety of health benefits found in bee pollen and in the sweet golden nectar of honey itself. Used as a natural sweetener in lieu of processed sugar and artificial sweeteners, honey is highly approved, dubbed as a natural elixir and “nectar of the gods” by beauty experts with celebrity endorsements from the likes of Kourtney Kardashian and Megan Markle who swear by the sweet stuff’s restorative powers.

Can solar energy save the bees?

In response to the population decline of pollinating insects, such as wild bees and monarch butterflies, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are investigating ways to use “pollinator-friendly solar power.

By studying solar energy facilities with pollinator habitats on site, researchers hope to rehabilitate pollinator populations that play a crucial role in the national and global agricultural industries. Loss of such species could devastate crop production, costs and nutrition on a global scale.

Though small, insects are at least partially responsible for pollinating nearly 75 percent of all crops world-wide consumed by humans in their daily diet. As man-made environmental stressors – including pesticides and land development – have increased, insect pollinators have lost habitats and species have declined significantly.

Royal Jelly Protects Skin from Sun and Boosts Collagen

 

Royal jelly contains proteins, carbohydrates, fats, free amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. As its principal unsaturated fatty acid, Royal Jelly contains 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA), which may have anti-tumor and antibacterial activity and a capacity to stimulate collagen production. Increased collagen production is highly beneficial to skin health and the reason why products such as Collagen Protein and Active Collagen – they both increase collagen dramatically.

40% decline in honey bee population VIDEO

Scientists are researching the potential consequences of the rapid decline of the honey bee population in the U.S. and how to mitigate its effects before it causes dire problems for crop management and production.

Honey bees are essential for the pollination of flowers, fruits and vegetables, and support about $20 billion worth of crop production in the U.S. annually, Matthew Mulica, senior project manager at the Keystone Policy Center, a consulting company that works with the Honey Bee Health Coalition, told ABC News.

Worldwide, honey bees and other pollinators help to produce about $170 billion in crops, Scott McArt, assistant professor of pollinator health at Cornell University, told ABC News. WATCH THE VIDEO Continue reading 40% decline in honey bee population VIDEO
