Aug 1, 2023; 07:26AM - They Don't Teach You This About Honey Bees in Schools
|
|
Category: [other]
|

Author Name: @TheWarKitchen

Tip&Trick Description 1:
1. Honey is the only food that has every single substance to sustain life.
2. Honey doesn't ever turn bad. You can actually eat honey that was found in Egyptian tombs
thousands of years ago. (if you dare) ‼️
3. A single bee produces just HALF a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. Hard work.
4. The darker the honey, the more powerful its medicinal properties and the less sweet it is.
The inverse also holds true.
5. Honey is the original antibiotic. It's been used as an antibacterial and antifungal for
generations.
6. Honey is a natural sleeping pill. Consuming honey aids with the production of melatonin.
Drink a warm cup of chamomile and take a shot of honey to the dome. Game changer.
7. You don't need to wash your honey dipper if you leave it in the jar of honey itself. Honey
is a natural preservative, so bacteria will not grow.
8. To make one pound of honey, bees need to visit 2 million flowers. 2 MILLION.

Tip&Trick Description 2:
9. Honey is the only food made by an insect that's actually eaten by BOTH the insect and us.
We're literally best friends.
10. Honey is one of the original remedies for an everyday cough & allergies. Local honey is
said to be useful in curing seasonal allergies.
11. Bees don't sleep. Work hard. Play hard.
12. Honey is excellent on burns. Cool the burn in running water. Pat it dry. Apply raw, organic
honey. It will speed up healing and even reduce any eventual scarring.
13. Babies under 12 months of age shouldn't ingest honey (their immune system isn't yet strong
enough to handle a certain strain of bacteria that's quite prevalent in honey)
14. Honey, like a lot of 'animal-based' products have a myriad of topical and oral applications
that make it incredibly versatile. Nature's all purpose drug.
15. The only honey that exists in my world is raw, organic unfiltered honey. To pasteurize
honey is to ruin the work of thousands of bees. You are literally a war criminal.
16. Everyone raves about Manuka honey, but the real ones have tried Jarrah. If you know, you
know.
17. Honey is one of the best hydration sources in the world. Honey > Pre Workout.
18. Honey is nature's moisturizer. |

18. Honey is nature's moisturizer.
19. Royal jelly is a special compound that worker bees secret; so potent it can transform an
ordinary bee into a queen bee. It's like a concentrated, supercharged version of honey.
20. The honey bee is a crucial part of our ecosystem. Without their help, over a third of all
food eaten in America wouldn't exist.
21. Honey should be a key ingredient in shampoos. Cleopatra did it. Why shouldn't we?
22. Bees communicate with other bees by dancing. That's how they signal where the best flowers
are. Seems familiar...
23. Honey is a source of flavanoids and phenolic acids — antioxidants which have been studied
to have incredible anti-inflammatory and even anti-cancer properties.
24. The hexagonal shape of honeycomb cells is a MARVEL. How did they know to use hexagons?
Hexagons are the most efficient shape to store the maximum amount of honey with the least
amount of wax needed to build. Geniuses.
To the anti-honey community:
When we eat honey we are NOT stealing from bees. It's a symbiotic relationship. We protect them
from the harsh conditions of nature, giving them a safe space to have their fun and make their
vomit.
They are so happy that they usually produce more honey than they could ever physically consume.
By consuming their excess honey, we are actually helping them restore balance in the hive.
So yes people, eat more honey. Buy all the varieties. Gift it to everyone around you. And
always remember to give thanks to our wonderful striped yellow friends

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR JUNE 30 TO JULY 06, 2003
WEATHER: This week the weather was almost a repeat of last week with the wind blowing
every afternoon again. Most of the wind was from either the southwest or west at 10-14 knots
and started around noon and lasted until around 9 at night. Our daytime highs were up in the mid
90s and our nighttime lows in the high 70s. No clouds to speak of so no rain. Its starting to
get warm enough to use the air-conditioning! (Jamaican Winds)
WATER: Again, almost a repeat of last weeks report with a concentration of cold water just off
the Cape. Water temperatures to 67 degrees along the shore on the Pacific side and warming up
to 73 or 74 degrees at the Golden Gate and San Jaime Banks. The water on the Pacific side has
been rough due to the strong winds, at least the closest 15 miles has been rough, Ive heard from
private boaters that once you get past that, it gets pretty nice. Off the Cape the water has been
70-72 degrees out at least 20 miles, and you have had to go 35-40 miles south to get to 78 degree
water. It is not smooth out there either! The best water conditions in terms of both calmness and
temperatures has been n the Sea of Cortez, and the further North you go, the warmer it becomes.
74 degrees between the 95 and 1150 spots and over 79 degrees past the Gorda Banks towards
Punta Gorda. Mornings have seen good water conditions out there but in the afternoons it has
sometimes been a rough ride home it the wind is from the southwest. (Theme For A Rainy Day)
BAIT: Mackerel and Caballito at the normal $2 per bait along with a good supply of Mullet.
(Take You There)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Scattered Striped Marlin within a 20 mile arc of Cabo San Lucas and a bit better
concentration out at the Cabrillo Seamount and north of the Palmilla. The fish are not
concentrated near to us right now, and the ones that are being found do not seem to be in an
eating mode. A few boats are getting two fish a trip, most of the boats are tossing bait to four or
five fish a trip and around 20% of them are getting bit. The cool water has not helped the bite on
Blue Marlin, but there are some strikes being had. I had an angler report that he caught a 73
pound Swordfish on Wednesday out on the Pacific side of the Cape. (Midnight In San Juan)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Not many boats are finding the Tuna this week and the ones that have done
well have been making 40 mile runs to find the fish. Most of them have been footballs in the
10-15 pound class. Cedar plugs and dark feathers have been the ticket, and since not many boats
have been in the areas the ones that are there have done very well. (Every Moment With You)
DORADO: A few scattered fish were found close in off the Punta Ballena to Palmilla area and
they were not large fish, mostly in the 10-15 pound range. Not until you got up to the Gorda
Banks was there any good action on Dorado, and then it was still scattered. Once again, there
was very good action a long ways from home as boats reported numbers of large fish past the
Cabrillo Seamount. Unfortunately, that is beyond the range of most of the charter fleet here in
Cabo unless you are willing to pop for a 1K trip, then it is still 2 hours out and two hours back, all
cruising. Fish that were caught out there were in the 30-60 pound class and most of them were
hooked on the troll. (Kissin On The Beach)
WAHOO: The only fish I saw or had reported to me this week were ones found in that warm
water outside the Cabrillo Seamount, and there were some good fish in the mix, up to 90 pounds.
Elsewhere, the bite was not happening. (She Never Said Why)
NEARSHORE: Slow inshore fishing this week as well, with most of the action being supplied by
Jack Crevalle and a few Yellowtail reported as well. Slow trolled live bait for the Jacks, live bait
dropped down mid water for the Yellowtail and a few nice Grouper for those dropping live bait to
the bottom and bringing it up 10 feet. The Roosterfish closed their mouths this week, they are
still there but the cool water got them off their feed. (Mobimientos Del Alma)
NOTES: No predictions!!! But I really hope the warm water continues to come to us from the
north on the Cortez side, we could certainly use it! As you can tell from the species report, the
action this past week was taking place well offshore, and you needed a fast boat and a lot of time
to get to it. Most of the fleet was not able to get to those areas so the overall catch was down
and a lot of boats returned from a day of fishing having only seen a few Marlin to toss bait to.
Wind, die down, Water, warm up, Fishing, turn on....this is my Mantra for the week! This weeks
report was written to the smooth guitar sounds of Earl Klugh on his 1991 Warners release
Midnight in San Juan.
