Science Lesson 79: Wild Honey and Bees

Wild honey may just be one of the world’s healthiest and tastiest natural source of antibiotics, antiviral, anti-inflammation, and antimicrobial chemical compounds. It is made from nectar, which is drained from different flowers. If it is agriculturally grown honey, it is not so great because there will be only a couple of flower selections on the bee’s menu.

The way it is made is from nectar, like I mentioned above, and is carried in a honey pouch found in bees. They then regurgitate a substance that we know to be something we call honey.

It also combats wounds and infections, as well as burns and ulcers. The way you treat external injuries is by adding it directly onto your skin underneath a Band-Aid. For best results, change the Band-Aid out every day. If you want to treat a cold or flu, add honey to ginger or lemon juice, or cayenne peppers.

 

Bees are quickly becoming extinct. And with them, so will honey. Some of the reasons people think that bees are disappearing is due to the extensive use of pesticides in common day fruits. This is sad since without bees, you need to go and manually pollinize the plants ( I don’t know if that’s even possible).

Bees are also incredibly smart, capable of solving a problem that would take computers days to solve. this problem is simple, finding the route that connects many locations, without going to any of them twice, that is the shortest. And not only that, but they do it hundreds of times each day.

Bees are amazing creatures. The Japanese honey bee has developed its version of defense to such a level so as to be able to roast their enemies, the hornets, alive. What they do is swarm upon the hornet, and as one body, vibrate to heat up the hornet to 117 degrees Fahrenheit. Their victims upper limit is 115.
