I'm looking at rows of jars of honey. Honey has been revered for its antibacterial
properties for centuries! It is used as a cough/cold/sorethroat remedy; a hangover
cure; helps cure ulcers; wound care.
You won't believe it but apparently bee venom can be used to treat rheumatic diseases too.
Today has been another wet day so spinning honey from comb and sieving it has been
the main job.
We got a ray of sunshine at about 3.00pm and the bees came hurtling out of the hives
always with an eye (composite) for an opportunity to dash over to the Rosebay Willowherb
to collect that nutritious nectar and tuck the fantastic dark green pollen into their baskets (corbiculae)
to feed the larvae which will become the long-lived bees to survive the winter cold.
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Queen Bee
