And of course, we all left with a jar of honey. Buckwheat honey is great for a sore throat. You can even put honey on a minor scrape or cut, and it will heal almost instantly. Yes, sticky it is, but I have tried it. It works. The honeybee is truly an amazing creature. Very smart! Seek out a local beekeeper and ask for more information. Locally, we are fortunate to have many honeybee farms from which to buy from the roadside stand or farmer's market. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL HONEYBEE FARMER! THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! And if you want to contact one of my locals, just send me an email and I'll give you info. hula-lahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17573985532086059343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806752892500066479.post-16271363201833368642013-04-08T01:34:02.820-07:002013-04-08T01:34:02.820-07:00the disapearance of the bees is a great problem. a...the disapearance of the bees is a great problem. and more other, it is probably just the visible piece of the iceberg: they are many other pollen-kipper insects, but they probably have the same problems than bees. and it is less visible because we do not breed them.Isabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07723715239111088647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806752892500066479.post-81617887256948730142013-04-01T16:36:24.647-07:002013-04-01T16:36:24.647-07:00Wonderful articles on bees!
