The Wonders Of The Honey Bee

The honey bee is an interesting little creature that provides a bounty of health and healing benefits to humans. It is the job of the worker bees to provide a nutritional source for the queen honey bee so that she may lay her eggs.

The bi-product of all this activity is wonderful products that contain nutritional and healing properties for humans.

Each honey bee colony has a unique scent for its members' identification. Only worker bees sting, and will only do so if they feel threatened. They die once they sting. Queen bees have a stinger, but never leave their respective hive to help defend it. Their focus is on laying eggs.

Since ancient times, products produced by the honey bee have been used in traditional medicines and as a nutritional food source. The bee is an amazing insect that is capable of creating a substance with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Honey is the perfect, naturally made food.
