Healing Properties

My wife and I have stated to do a lot of research on honey and honey bees. Last week we went to a bee farm and spoke with the owner for a few hours. The more I learn about it the more I feel it is one of our keys to survive. My family and I use unprocessed honey for all cuts and burns. The owner of the farm actually strings himself with the bees to help ease the pain of his arthritis. He told us that when an individual is severely burned in China they cover the individual up in honey and wrap them in gauze. I have been amazed at the results for the cuts and burns I have had. Note: We only use unprocessed honey, found at farmers markets or local health stores.

I am not sure if there will be enough vegetation available after the pole shift to maintain outside colonies. Even so I understand edible honey was found in the Egyptian pyramids. With such a long shelf live it is a product that will be worth its weight in gold. At least it could give flavor to any foods we could be forced to eat. My wife and I have joined a bee keeping club and are going to set up a colony next year. If there is a feasible way to set up a colony around hydroponics we could have a real winning solution.

What you say about the healing qualities of honey is absolutely true, and in fact honey is just one of the many healing materials available from bee by-products. There's bee propolis, the stuff the bees use to cover the insides of the combs and the supers to prevent infection - that stuff is one of the best natural antibiotics available and is widely used in all your 'vitamin' therapies. Then there's nectar, used for energy and strength, and, of course, queen's food, which is supposed to be vital for women during pregnancy and nursing. There's some more, such as using actual bee-sting therapy. A whole science around it.
