Royal jelly is a honey bee secretion that is used in the nutrition of the
larvae. It is secreted from the hypopharyngeal glands in the heads of young
workers and used (amongst other substances) to feed all of the larvae in the
colony, including those destined to become workers. If a queen is needed, the
hatchling will receive only royal jelly - and in large quantities - as its food
source for the first four days of its growth, and this rapid, early feeding
triggers the development of queen morphology, including the fully developed
ovaries needed to lay eggs. Some commercial royal jelly suppliers disseminate
misinformation such as "Only queen larvae and adult queens are fed royal jelly";
the fact remains that all larvae in a colony are fed royal jelly, and adult bees
do not consume it at all.

I am not suggesting that local honey will replace allergists. But what I am
saying is that since visits to allergists are expensive and the series of
immunology shots, although generally very effective, are costly, it makes
perfect sense to give the local honey a try first. Many times, as many others
and I have seen firsthand, the local honey will take care of the problem,
quickly, safely, and inexpensively.

The health benefits of honey - like all foods - depend on the quality of the
honey. But in this case, the situation is even more extreme, because the pollen
that collects on the bees’ legs as they move from plant to plant is only as
healthful and as diverse as those plants. In addition, the processing of honey
often removes many of the phytonutrients found in raw honey as it exists in the
hive. Raw honey, for example, contains small amounts of the same resins found in
propolis. Propolis, sometimes called "bee glue," is actually a complex mixture
of resins and other substances that honeybees use to seal the hive and make it
safe from bacteria and other micro-organisms.

Bee Pollen has been called "The World’s First Health Food" because its healing
powers were first described in the Bible and ancient Chinese and Egyptian
texts.Bee Pollen contains nearly every known nutrient required for a balanced
human diet. Bee Pollen is approximately 25% Protein, 50% carbohydrates and 14%
polyunsaturated beneficial fatty acids. It is rich in natural hormones,
carotenoids, flavonoids and phytosterols. In addition, bee pollen more than a
dozen vitamins, 28 minerals, 11 enzymes or co-enzymes and 18 amino acids.

HONEY, a most assimilable carbohydrate compound, is a singularly acceptable,
practical and most effective aliment to generate heat, create and replace
energy, and furthermore, to form certain tissues. Honey, besides, supplies the
organism with substances for the formation of enzymes and other biological
ferments to promote oxidation. It has distinct germicidal properties and in this
respect greatly differs from milk which is an exceptionally good breeding-ground
for bacteria. Honey is a most valuable food, which today is not sufficiently
appreciated. Its frequent if not daily use is vitally important.

Although honey is a natural, healthy food that normally cannot support bacterial
life, it’s important to note that it can carry C. botulinum spores which may be
harmful to the undeveloped immune systems of infants. The old practice of
dipping pacifiers into honey to soothe crying babies should be aborted.

Beeswax is healthy stuff. It’s an all natural substance with some amazing properties, and it smells divine. By contrast, paraffin candles are petroleum products. Burning a paraffin candle to set the mood for a romantic dinner is like running a small diesel engine on your dining room table. The fumes are noxious, and the chemical perfumes that manufacturers use to mask the smell of the exhaust can be downright toxic. Read More
