Did you know that:
– a spoonful of honey is enough to keep a person alive for 24 hours
– one of the first coins in the world had the symbol of a bee
– honey contains living enzymes. The metal spoon kills these enzymes. The best way to consume honey is to use a wooden spoon, otherwise you can use a plastic spoon.
– honey contains a substance that helps the brain function.
– honey is one of the few foods on earth that alone can sustain human life.
– Bees saved people from starvation in Africa.
– Propolis produced by bees is one of nature’s most powerful antibiotics.
– Honey has no expiration date.
– the bodies of the world’s greatest emperors were buried in coffins of gold and then covered with honey to prevent them from rotting.
– the term “honeymoon” comes from the fact that the young couple consumed honey for fertility purposes after marriage.
Bees have two stomachs: one to feed themselves and the other to store nectar, which they turn into honey.
A bee lives less than 40 days, visits at least 1,000 flowers and produces less than a teaspoon of honey during its entire life. For us, it is just a spoonful of honey, but for the bee, it is the story of a lifetime.
Thank you, dear bees!
