This is true for all living beings. Just because we can’t fathom it, doesn’t make it impossible. 🐙

@clhubes 2 year old and a 6 month old. Somehow the 2 year old is the biggest challenge between the two right now.

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 🐝🥂

In 1984. Recent law school grad Greg Abbott was jogging in the affluent Houston, Texas suburb of River Oaks. When he jogged past Divorce attorney Roy Moore's home. A giant oak tree broke and tragically fell on Greg Abbott. Crushing his spine and leaving him paralyzed. Uninsured and unemployed. Abbott had no health insurance. He had over $81,000 in hospital bills. He sued. Abbott got his hospital bills paid and received over $5.7 million dollars in payouts from Moore's home insurance and the tree services company who failed to detect the tree was rotten inside. Still to this day Greg Abbott gets a monthly check that includes cost of living increases each year. And will receive a check for the rest of his life. When Abbott was on the Texas Supreme court . He voted to decrease the amount of money someone in a similar situation could receive. Gregg Abbott supported capping non medical damages in cases like his at $250,000. A reward like the multi million dollars in payouts Abbott received and still receives each and every month till the day he dies would be impossible today. Of course these bills were crafted to not be retroactive. So they do not affect Greg Abbotts payments. Gregg Abbott does everything he can to hurt us Texans. While he laughs all the way to the bank every month with his very generous monthly check that he happily denies to another Texan who is injured in the same way as Abbott was. It goes without saying. This is another example of a GOP hypocrite. OK for me but not for any other Texan. That should be Gov. Greg Abbotts theme song for his life. What a despicable man who cares nothing about anyone's pain and suffering. He got his and to Abbot and the GOP. That's all that matters. @NewBlueUSA #DemVoice1

@austenbiz @dilf_dunphy @joncoopertweets Handguns and the like are enough for self defense against your run of the mill bad guy.
All nations have mental illness. Yet, we’re the ones living in a state of terror. Al-Qaeda must be laughing their asses off at what we’ve done to ourselves.

@austenbiz @dilf_dunphy @joncoopertweets 2/2 The only way to keep authoritarianism at bay is to educate the population enough to keep authoritarian figures out of office to begin with. That’s how they actually rise to power nowadays. Get an ignorant population to vote you in, then refuse to leave when they want you out

I can’t imagine the agony of the parents of those 3 kids killed at school today.
If that’s not a parent’s absolute worst nightmare, I don’t know what is.
How is any parent supposed to look into a sleepy kid’s eyes in the morning and tell them they have to go to school?

Today is Daylight Savings, and once again we all lost an hour of sleep. No one likes it. Changing the time twice a year is just stupid. So why isn’t it gone? I’ll explain:

- Last year the US Senate voted to pass the bipartisan “Sunshine Protection Act,” to make Daylight saving time the permanent time in the US.
- When it was time to vote on it in the House, to move it to Biden’s desk, the House could not agree on whether we to make Daylight Saving time the actual time or Standard time the actual time.
- This led to the bill never being voted on in the House.
- On March 2 of this year the Senate reintroduced the bill.

Let’s hope it passes into law this time!

@HighnessOphelia @fuyugaakeru At the risk of stepping on a land mine, and I don’t say this to be crass, I’m genuinely curious. Would you prefer to have been aborted instead of being adopted by your current family?
This is a rather odd stance, so I’d like to understand.

"To say that January 6th was not violent, is a lie."

Fox News has yet to learn their lesson. Even after Rupert Murdoch went on record about their lies, @tuckercarlson and his ilk continue to confuse, misdirect, and deceive their audience.

It's despicable.

BREAKING: Jon Stewart just completely destroyed Republican State Senator Nathan Dahm of Oklahoma on gun reform in America. Each and every point that Dahm tried to address was completely debunked by Stewart. Stewart made Dahm look as foolish as he and his republican colleagues really are.

My favorite quote was: “In every other place your life you want to bring order, but guns are the outlier for you.”

Let all your republican friends see this video! https://t.co/qOlU187LHx

@svershbow The Van Gogh museum 100%. Still one of the best museums I’ve ever been to.
And might sound cheesy and touristy, but I would highly recommend one of those multi course dinners on a boat at sunset. It was epic.

@GM4AJK @Rainmaker1973 It maximizes efficiency. In the morning everyone is trying to go into the city and it goes down to 2 lanes northbound, 4 lanes into the city. Then the opposite for the afternoon rush.
