Hello my Friends!

In the old days, when we were responsible for some 160,000 bees (four families of them, four queens and their off-spring, that is), we were always told NEVER to heat honey.

The benefits of honey are plenty, you apply it to infected wounds, and the infection will be gone.(it kills germs, like CS does). It is even applied by doctors who know, on burns, up to the third degree, again, to avoid the entrance of bacteria. Internally it has the same effect (see my post on the "honey wash"), and besides tasting heavenly, it is a far better provider of energy than sugar, which gives a small peak of energy, whilst honey gioves a long wave of energy.

AND:
did you know that recently a German doctor found out that the bee-sting helps preventing further deterioration (and it even cures) the devastating illness of Alzheimer? This is worth further investigation via your browser, I guess.

BUT: We were told not to even put honey in hot tea, for it will loose all its good faculties (even the taste). For indeed, enzymes and all the beneficial that honey is made up of, is immedeately broken down.

When you buy a flask, or a big bottle of honey, look well at the surface of the liquid: It should NOT be foamy. If it is, better think twice: It may have been cut (with water, which is the worst thing a honey vendor can do to you.) Smell it, and decide if it smells good. Honey and water do not go together. Mark that a slight foam on the surface does not mean that your honey is bad; if it's thick and smells foul, leave it be.

To finish: In some of the Egyptian pyramid-graves honey was found. It was still of good quality, after thousands of years! Bee-keeping and honey preservation is an ancient art.

Hope to serve,
Love you all,
Faith
long-ago keeper of bees,
and admirer of these examples of social behaviour.
