DID YOU KNOW? 🐝 There are live enzymes in honey. 🐝 When in contact with a metal spoon, these enzymes die. 🐝 The best way to eat honey is with a wooden or plastic spoon. 🐝 Honey contains a substance that helps your brain work better. 🐝 Honey is one of the rare foods on Earth that alone can sustain human life. 🐝 One teaspoon of honey is enough to sustain human life for 24 hours. 🐝 Propolis, produced by bees, is one of the most powerful natural antibiotics. 🐝 Honey has no expiration date. 🐝 The bodies of great emperors were buried in golden coffins and covered with honey to prevent putrefaction. 🐝 The term "honeymoon" comes from the tradition of newlyweds consuming honey for fertility after the wedding. 🐝 A bee lives less than 40 days, visits at least 1,000 flowers, and produces less than a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. 🐝 One of the first coins had a bee symbol on it. Deep gratitude to the humble BEE! 🐝

Not all honey is the same tho. We're never without raw manuka honey, especially in colder months. Crazy expensive though, but too damn handy and taste great. We avoid sugar so use it as a sweetener in some things.
And the darker the honey the better it is for allergies. Most want the golden color that the grocery stores sell but dark is best (at least in my area) and thank goodness we have several bee farms in the area who sell and are willing to educate people. I asked about the metal spoon thing and two beekeepers laughed at me saying you would have to keep the spoon in the honey for years to kill the enzymes. A dip and stir has little to no effect at all on the honey according to the locals where I am. I still use and olive wood spoon but everyone has their preferences.
I have some really dark stuff from Nevada. All desert wildflowers.
Absolutely correct... You have to read labels to get the purest honey possible... Cheers fren... ☕️☕️☕️
Local honey or keep bees...no spraying of farms or gardens....soak garlic gloves in airtight Mason jar for several days and store at room temperature on your kitchen counter then you'll have a powerful treatment to prevent or cure cold, flu, etc. Eat a couple of cloves per day for prevention and more if you are ill. They are delicious! Thank you Father for the bees! 🙏🐝
Amen to that u/Joys1Daughter...
My son chides me about my "hundred dollah honey", hey, I don't spend money carelessly, my nutrition comes before "nice" clothing or new car loans. I eat a tablespoon a day, and have used it on wounds, amazing stuff.
