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! 🐝
