Aug 1, 2023; 07:26AM - They Don't Teach You This About Honey Bees in Schools

Tip&Trick Description 1:
1. Honey is the only food that has every single substance to sustain life.
2. Honey doesn't ever turn bad. You can actually eat honey that was found in Egyptian tombs
thousands of years ago. (if you dare) ‼️
3. A single bee produces just HALF a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. Hard work.
4. The darker the honey, the more powerful its medicinal properties and the less sweet it is.
The inverse also holds true.
5. Honey is the original antibiotic. It's been used as an antibacterial and antifungal for
generations.
6. Honey is a natural sleeping pill. Consuming honey aids with the production of melatonin.
Drink a warm cup of chamomile and take a shot of honey to the dome. Game changer.
7. You don't need to wash your honey dipper if you leave it in the jar of honey itself. Honey
is a natural preservative, so bacteria will not grow.
8. To make one pound of honey, bees need to visit 2 million flowers. 2 MILLION.

Tip&Trick Description 2:
9. Honey is the only food made by an insect that's actually eaten by BOTH the insect and us.
We're literally best friends.
10. Honey is one of the original remedies for an everyday cough & allergies. Local honey is
said to be useful in curing seasonal allergies.
11. Bees don't sleep. Work hard. Play hard.
12. Honey is excellent on burns. Cool the burn in running water. Pat it dry. Apply raw, organic
honey. It will speed up healing and even reduce any eventual scarring.
13. Babies under 12 months of age shouldn't ingest honey (their immune system isn't yet strong
enough to handle a certain strain of bacteria that's quite prevalent in honey)
14. Honey, like a lot of 'animal-based' products have a myriad of topical and oral applications
that make it incredibly versatile. Nature's all purpose drug.
15. The only honey that exists in my world is raw, organic unfiltered honey. To pasteurize
honey is to ruin the work of thousands of bees. You are literally a war criminal.
16. Everyone raves about Manuka honey, but the real ones have tried Jarrah. If you know, you
know.
17. Honey is one of the best hydration sources in the world. Honey > Pre Workout.
18. Honey is nature's moisturizer. |

18. Honey is nature's moisturizer.
19. Royal jelly is a special compound that worker bees secret; so potent it can transform an
ordinary bee into a queen bee. It's like a concentrated, supercharged version of honey.
20. The honey bee is a crucial part of our ecosystem. Without their help, over a third of all
food eaten in America wouldn't exist.
21. Honey should be a key ingredient in shampoos. Cleopatra did it. Why shouldn't we?
22. Bees communicate with other bees by dancing. That's how they signal where the best flowers
are. Seems familiar...
23. Honey is a source of flavanoids and phenolic acids — antioxidants which have been studied
to have incredible anti-inflammatory and even anti-cancer properties.
24. The hexagonal shape of honeycomb cells is a MARVEL. How did they know to use hexagons?
Hexagons are the most efficient shape to store the maximum amount of honey with the least
amount of wax needed to build. Geniuses.
To the anti-honey community:
When we eat honey we are NOT stealing from bees. It's a symbiotic relationship. We protect them
from the harsh conditions of nature, giving them a safe space to have their fun and make their
vomit.
They are so happy that they usually produce more honey than they could ever physically consume.
By consuming their excess honey, we are actually helping them restore balance in the hive.
So yes people, eat more honey. Buy all the varieties. Gift it to everyone around you. And
always remember to give thanks to our wonderful striped yellow friends

EAST CAPE, MAGDALENA BAY AND ZIHUATANEJO CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL In spite of some wind and rain this week fishing continued on the upswing. The summer mainstay, yellowfin tuna provided plenty of action and had the hotels staffs scrambling to find enough wasabi to cover the sashimi action every night at cocktail hour. A few sails and stripes were found to add to the action. Back closer to shore the skipjack and bonito were the mainstay with the roosters and jacks tough to find in the still off-color water. Be sure to pick up a copy of the December issue of Fly Fisherman and check out Dan Blantons article on his 4 Best Bets for Baja. Of course, Baja on the Fly/East Cape is one of them.

OFFSHORE: Tuna, by far the front runner this week, plus a few dorado and billfish to fill in the dance card after the tuna action slowed down mid morning.
INSHORE: At least the skipjack and bonito cooperated. Still waiting for the water to clean up before the roosters and jacks get going again.
BEACH: Early morning, along the edges of the outflows from the arroyos producing some action for smaller jacks, roosters and several other species including ladyfish and pompano.
BILLFISH Not exactly a barnburner but enough for the hardcore.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Under the porpoise schools produced the best action with a
few gorillas mixed in. Wheres the 12-weight?
DORADO - Scattered at best with no real concentration.
ROOSTERFISH - As the water cleans up it will begin to pick up.
JACK CREVALLE - Smaller variety under the receivers at La Ribera.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Look along the color break.
PARGO AND CABRILLA A few found around the rocky points near Punta Colorada..
SIERRA A few here and there, try the receivers in front of La Ribera.
MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Sat., September 06, 2003 Report covers the period Wed..-Fri. (9/03 - 9/05)
IN GENERAL: Orange mouth Corvina were biting at a variety of spots from the Entrada to Devils Curve. Los Barriles estero produced a ton of spotted bay bass and several smaller snook on an outgoing tide earlier in the week.

YELLOWTAIL Look for the birds and bait; besides the yellows there are some mystery fish down deeper that refuses to be caught.
CORVINA In front of the fish camp on the north side of the Entrada produced some good catches early morning and late afternoon on the current rips.
SNOOK Plenty of smaller ones to be found, still looking for the Grande.
HALIBUT - Find a shallow sandy beach and dredge with a chartreuse Clouser.
SIERRA - Tidal rips with birds diving on them are the best bet.
ZIHUATANEJO, MAINLAND MEXICO
Please note the date. We are only providing weekly (not twice a week) reports for this area.
Sat., September 06, 2003, Report covers the period Sat.-Fri. (8/31 - 9/5)
IN GENERAL: As expected, recent rains have washed out some debris that has created a few current lines that are holding dorado averaging between 20 and about 28 pounds.
The 82 blue water is still very close to the beach and the offshore fishing could be rated as fair. Sailfish action is steady 1 to 2 fish per day per boat. The blue marlin are still holding at about one fish per day for the 6 to 8 boat fleet going out each day.
The roosterfish action continues to be exceptional, with the several boats targeting them averaging between 5 and 7 fish a day in the 30 - 45 pounds class. Almost all the roosters are being taken on live goggle eyes of about 6 to 10'.
