They Don't Teach You This About Honey Bees in Schools 🐝:
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.
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.
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 🐝🥂
@KatyMontgomerie @RupteredPhoenix Except it’s not. The concoction of hormones required to breast feed as a man is much greater, to produce milk which is scientifically proven to have less nutrition that milk produced by a female (whether naturally or induced).
@Darienbtw@stuartlosaltos@kelly_cadigan Idk Darien looks pretty fake here, maybe a dose of reality could help though 🧐 clearly not looking to lose some of that fakery.
@NetworkPshre Thank you all for attending and submitting really thoughtful questions. Please fill in the form regarding next years webinars so we can tailor them to your needs and requirements!
@PaulCMoran @Edunomics_ The whole point of his thread is that teachers are modelling to students the behaviour that every person in the school should be exhibiting. Teachers, students, admin staff, teaching assistants, everyone. The whole point is that it isn’t ‘do as I say’.
@deadman_1960@g_lamarche@DrEmmaKatz Wow. You really are a disgrace. Not only have you made a misogynistic ‘joke’ you’ve detracted from the main purpose of her post. Is the main purpose too uncomfortable to deal with?
This generation of young women aren't internalizing patriarchy. The attempt to condition them to accept a dominance-based culture of masculinity isn't working.
Which is why so many men can't get a date.
Him: *Signaling old school masculinity*
Her: Hell no! Are you nuts?
Thank you to everyone who came to our event and a huge thank you to @HumaniseProject for being our fantastic speakers.

@vegan_mega@StonedmasonJim@LBC@MenAtWork_MC@ShelaghFogarty How is asking that boys be shown how to behave, to seek consent, to respect space and boundaries somehow saying men are always wrong - this attitude segregates and insights an almost radicalisation of men to hate women.
@fletcherkathy8@MenAtWork_MC Wow. The point is that it should never have happened in the first place girls should not have to fight to keep themselves safe.
@vegan_mega@LBC@MenAtWork_MC@ShelaghFogarty Why not accept that toxic masculinity is the problem and take some responsibility for calling it out and ensuring the safety of women and girls?
@hatch526@LBC@MenAtWork_MC@ShelaghFogarty It’s not forcing them to fear them. It’s educating and modelling how to treat them. It’s undoing the damage that porn has taught them.
