Honeybees

Did you know honeybees can keep you healthy? 

Honeybees have been called the angels of agriculture for good reason. One of every three mouthfuls of food we eat depends on their pollination of crops, including nuts and many fruits and vegetables. But bees also produce some natural superfoods of their own that can give a big boost to our health.

Honey has been prized as a delicious medicinal food for thousands of years. Bee pollen is a concentrated source of protein and carbohydrates plus vitamins and minerals. And royal jelly is known as a super-concentrated food and energy booster that contains more than 100 different nutrients.

But the biggest buzz in the nutritional world comes from bee propolis, a therapeutic substance with far reaching health benefits. Bees use propolis to protect their hives. It sterilizes and protects against parasites and microbial infection. Propolis has been used for years as a natural antibiotic and wound healer plus it fights colds and flu.

Thank God for these little honeybees and all the good stuff they produce.
