while the Romans used a mixture of honey and bran followed by cork and ashes.

For the past twelve years, Kenyan social business Honey Care Africa has developed its innovative Ëoebusiness in a Beehive'model that has allowed low-income farmers to easily earn more money by producing honey.

and oe most importantly of all-a contract for a guaranteed cash purchase of the resulting honey at fair market prices.

The honey, on the other hand, is a relatively stable and easy source of cash that farmers can depend on."

 says Madison Ayer, Honey Care Africa's CEO. The idea comes at a convenient time.

Global demand for honey constantly exceeds supply, and with bee colonies mysteriously disappearing in the US and Europe,

pure honey is becoming a valuable oe and expensive-commodity. The price of honey in the US is rising more than 6%annually,

and the market globally is expected to hit $12 billion by 2015. The reason is that"there's a certain magic to honey

and for thousands of years honey has been used for its medicinal value. Â Â Â Â Aside from being a healthy and natural sweetener,

Yet the production of honey is a very slow, decentralized process. It's impossible to artificially produce

or mass manufacture pure honey. You need honeybees, space, wild flowers and ample time to for the bees to pollinate

and recently completed an in depth study of Kenya's honey industry. While many rural farmers keep bees, the traditional method of collecting honey results in low quality honey and low harvesting yields."

"Smallholder farmers typically produce honey in traditional logs, and when harvest day comes they pack it in old fruit juice bottles,

For example, imagine picking up a jar of Honey Care Africa honey off the shelves of your local supermarket,

Some honey makers dilute their honey with sugar beets or corn syrup, their competitors say, but still market it as 100 percent pure at a premium price.

and mix the meat with honey and the juice of an amalaka (an Asian gooseberry-like fruit).

There is also the possibility of extracting honey from poplar tree flowers, which could be something for sale on site.

Already this season, one hive has produced 200 pounds of surplus honey which is really a huge amount of honey,

#said beekeeper Michael Thompson after checking the hives one July morning. The state average is 40 pounds of surplus honey per hive.#

#The Chicago bees success could be due to the citys abundant and mostly pesticide-free flowers.

Honey from city hives makes its way into swanky restaurant kitchens and behind the bar,

The restaurant will use the surplus honey on its menu. We dont expect honey this year,

His company turns the honey into mead, a fermented beverage that can be dry like Riesling or sweet like a dessert wine.

but they contend their honey tastes better than country honey since it takes on essences from plants the bees visit.

The honeys taste changed after Lurie Garden was installed in 2004, he said. I guess it tastes more complicated now,

and other Superbugs Even more health benefits from honey are being identified. The Guardian reports that Welsh scientists are collecting honey to help identify new antibacterial drugs.

The idea is not necessarily to use the honey itself, although the article notes that this is a common enough practice,

but rather to identify the plants that bees have been feeding on, and then isolate compounds that may be used to develop new drugs.

Its an urgent problem#Long-term, the research aims to point a way towards creating drugs through the plants rather than the honey itself.

Oh honey, quick! Get the camera!..I think Ill sleep here...As with most giraffes, they never really know what their role in life is...

Their Own Honey Honey contains chemicals that could help bees ward off parasites and protect them from pesticide damage new research suggests.

The findings published today (April 29) in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggest that the immune-boosting chemicals in honey could be a solution to colony-collapse disorder

The natural honey has components in it that help trigger defenses in the bees said Jay Evans a bee pathologist at the U s. Department of agriculture's Agricultural research service in Maryland who was involved not in the study.

The findings suggest that honey isn't just providing bees with a quick source of fast food

I don't think we'll get beekeepers to go back to feeding their bees just honey.

It takes one million flowers to produce enough nectar for one pound of honey said Andrew Cote founder of the New york city Beekeepers Association.

Each hive needs hundreds of pounds of honey to survive. To supplement what the bees forage from parks

The Waldorf Astoria hotel for example uses its rooftop-made honey in cocktails salad dressing and even wild mushroom chowder.

#'Honey Laundering'an International Scandal, Experts Say There might be something funny in your honey.

Food safety experts have found that much of the honey sold in the United states isn't actually honey but a concoction of corn or rice syrup malt sweeteners or jiggery (cheap unrefined sugar) plus a small amount of genuine honey according to Wired UK.

Worse some honey much of which is imported from Asia has been found to contain toxins like lead and other heavy metals as well as drugs like chloramphenicol an antibiotic according to a Department of justice news release.

And because cheap honey from China was being dumped on the U s. market at artificially low prices Chinese honey is now subject to additional import duties So Chinese exporters simply ship their honey to Thailand

This international honey-laundering scandal has resulted now in a Justice department indictment of two U s. companies

This is the first admission by a U s. packer of knowingly importing mislabeled honey Eric Wenger chairman of True Source Honey told NPR.

True Source Honey is an industry consortium with an auditing system to guarantee the actual origin of honey.

Hoping that she would someday become a therapy dog Honey's owner took the dog to meet a person in a wheelchair.

Without warning the person quickly moved the chair unaware of how close Honey's paws were to the wheels.

The wheelchair that was once a neutral stimulus caused Honey to react with panic when she saw it.

When Honey learned to avoid or escape wheelchairs operant conditioning (learned behavior had taken place. How classical conditioning can benefit dog owners As an example of classical conditioning related to a positive experience

if Honey had developed not a fear of wheelchairs and they were a neutral stimulus Honey's owner could have reached into her treat bag

and given Honey a preferred treat every time they were in the presence of a wheelchair.

If Honey got to the point where she would salivate as a result of seeing a wheelchair classical (respondent) conditioning had taken place.

#What Is Honey? Honey: You drink it in your tea and spread it on your bread but what is honey really?

A thick golden liquid produced by industrious bees honey is made using the nectar of flowering plants

and is saved inside the beehive for eating during times of scarcity. But how do bees make honey?

Honey's color taste aroma and texture vary greatly depending on the type of flower a bee frequents.

Clover honey for example differs greatly from the honey harvested from bees that frequent a lavender field.

and allowed them to feed on the honey-soaked cards for 2 days. The honey contained blue dye,

so that the tint in their gut would later indicate whether the insects had ingested it. The team then used a genetic test to analyse VIRAL RNA on the cards.

They found that many mosquitoes had consumed the honey, and that more than 70%of cards tested positive for the three viruses.

Like all animals, European honeybees (Apis mellifera) rely on a sleep-like state of inactivity to survive

Cornman, a geneticist for the Bee Research Laboratory of the US Department of agriculture (USDA) in Beltsville, Maryland, is trying to characterize the various pathogens that plague the honeybee (Apis mellifera), arguably the world's most important insect.

or so researchers in attendance last week at the Honey Bee Genomics & Biology meeting, held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New york. It was dedicated the first conference on the topic

oil and honey were traded, as well as fruit, fish, meat and resin. He says the DNA approach offers great promise for advances in terms of analysing amphora contents from archaeologically documented wrecks,

All honeybees (Apis mellifera) are born equal, but this situation doesn t last long. Although genetically identical, the bees soon take on the specific roles of queen or worker.

the mosquitoes struggled to distinguish the smell of honey from that of glycerol (an odourless liquid of similar consistency),

the comb cells of the Italian honeybee (Apis mellifera Ligustica) are circular (top), but after two days they already look more hexagonal (bottom).

tilt the axis of the cells very slightly up from the horizontal to prevent the honey from flowing out,

For example, honeybees (Apis mellifera) and gray jays (Perisoreus canadensis) 2 have been seen to violate IIA, and so have hummingbirds (Selasphorus rufus) 3."On witnessing such behaviour in the past,

because the genetic material of the food they collect--the nectar--may have already been contaminated heavily from contact with GMO material that has escaped from dedicated-GMO farms. bee larvae do feed on honey

Honey-and bumblebees'social structures mean people are able to cultivate them in hives and drive them around to places that need them.

I would use all of the honey for the sole purpose of feeding the bees in winter time.

Very Dry with lots of Citrus Acid Melon and Stonefruit flavors alongside lighter Honey Floral Creamy and Mineral flavors.

Because They're Eating Inferior Honey Substituteshoney is good for you and it's a nice natural substitute for sweeteners like table sugar or high-fructose corn syrup.

For American agriculture bees are valuable not for their honey but for their pollination services--without them you wouldn't have almonds blueberries tomatoes and a long list of other crucial crops.

By eating honey which contains pollen the bees are exposed to a compound that basically boosts their ability to break down dangerous chemicals.

is that while honey may be good for the bees and their immunity...the corn syrup they are forced to eat en route to their next pollination gig...

Our government office in charge being run by the person responsible for this assures that this is not going to go well for U s as to the honey not being feed left to the hives;

there are many grades of honey and some of these grades are harder for a beekeeper to sell than others.

The practice of taking honey was being used but colonies didn't collapse. So while I think that some will find a middle ground that will begin to show promise it won't last

They clean wax cells for the queen's eggs and feed the larvae honey and pollen.

and sure although domestic honey bees and their keepers have issues there are actually around 20000 species of bees on the planet 90%of them are solitary and not social.

Bees don't just make honey remember but pollinate a ton of what we eat--as much as a fourth of it.

There is chemically no difference between the sugars in honey and the high fructose corn syrup. Honey has some impurities in it (bacteria pollen other bee-related things)

In fact some unscrupulous honey companies use HFCS to extend their honey and it is almost impossible to stop them

Male honey bees (Apis mellifera) hatch from unfertilized eggs and females from fertilized ones. In these fertilized eggs the condition of the complementary sex determiner (csd) gene is of crucial significance for the creation of female workers.

If we can gain a better understanding of the factors causing honeybee decline we may be able to apply this knowledge to protecting other species. Fell cited funding from the Virginia Department of agriculture and Consumer Services the National Honey Board the Virginia Agricultural

which were tested then for their ability to resist infection with Nosema ceranae--a parasite of adult honey bees that has been linked to a lethal phenomenon known as colony collapse disorder.

#Substances in honey increase honey bee detox gene expressionresearch in the wake of Colony Collapse Disorder a mysterious malady afflicting (primarily commercial) honey bees suggests that pests pathogens

Every frame of honey (in the honey bee hive) is phytochemically different from the next frame of honey

because different nectars went in to make the honey. If you don't know what your next meal is going to be how does your detoxification system know which enzymes to upregulate?

Research had shown previously that eating honey turns on detoxification genes that metabolize the chemicals in honey

According to Berenbaum three other honey constituents were effective inducers of these detoxification enzymes. These components probably originate in the tree resins that bees use to make propolis the bee glue

Berenbaum believes the new research shows that honey is a rich source of biologically active materials that truly matter to a bee.

because if you look at the evolutionary history of Apis mellifera this species did not evolve with high fructose corn syrup.

It is clear that honey bees are adapted highly to consuming honey as part of their diet.

researcher saysthe immune system's T cells while coordinating responses to diseases and vaccines act like honey bees sharing information about the best honey sources according to a new study by scientists at UC

The study evaluated the health of 80 commercial colonies of honey bees (Apis mellifera) in the eastern United states on an almost monthly basis over the course of 10 months

The study suggests that new practices for integrated management of both honey bees and wild insects will enhance global yields of animal-pollinated crops

Almond is a crop highly dependent on honey bee pollination and is a $3 billion industry in California.

Secondly in high winds orchards with only honey bees present had almost no pollination service as the honey bees were not flying.

if honey can prevent the loss of the normal surface of the mouth or throat caused by RT.

This study assessed the use of Manuka honey a honey from New zealand that is a standardized medical grade honey.

The honey was administered on the first day of treatment and continued throughout RT. After four weeks of RT treatment with and without Manuka honey patients were asked to assess their pain during swallowing using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) scale with a zero indicating no pain a five indicating moderate pain and a 10

since three previous trials had indicated that honey worked and reducing esophagitis is important so that patients can continue eating their normal diet said lead study author Lawrence Berk MD chief of radiation oncology Morsani School of medicine at the University of South Florida Tampa.

--and that trial also found no benefit with the honey. Both the Canadian study and our trial used Manuka honey whereas previous trials all used a local honey.

This is often a problem in using natural products-each batch or type of product may be different

Currently honey cannot be recommended for every patient to use for esophagitis pain relief. However it is safe and inexpensive

Patients with diabetes should be cautious with honey because it does have a high sugar load.
