At the last Second Sunday Market, I stopped by the Apex Bee Company booth. With the onset of cold weather, we tend to go through honeyquicker than in the warmer months. If you've ever warmed your pipes with tea, whiskey and honey you’ll know what I’m talking about.
“Would you like clover or wildflower,” the beekeeper asked.
I didn't know there was a difference. I thought honey washoney. I’m not very well versed in apiculture. She offered a taste of both.They were different. I thought the clover was a little less interesting thanthe wildflower. I went with the wildflower.
Honey isn't just for whiskey either. In this post by JamesByrne on the Scientific American blog I learned that it “has some prettyamazing properties, it’s broadly antimicrobial and seemingly able to promotehealing.”
“While only preliminary, it seems honey and its variouscomponents might have more secrets to unveil which will further develop ourunderstanding of the anti-microbial nature of this environmental product and atthe same time its pro-immune responses elicited when we use it.”
Byrne suggests that you “should rub honey on your everywhere."
Sweet!
According to a tag affixed to the jar, my wildflower honeycame from Honey Bee Restoration Project Hive #2 located in
That’s good stuff.
