I have friends who are or want to have honey bee hives on their property. This interesting video gave pause to that thought.

Sounds like the culture of honeybee supremacy has created systematic racism against the Wild Bees. The fact that honeybees are provided safe, sound, and free housing gives them a leg up. I think we need to require some Diversity Training programs for all the honeybee hives along with some Equity Solutions for Wild Bees. WildBeesLifesMatter

when I was a kid honeybees invaded my grandparents house and took over their front porch. They called a beekeeper (i guess it was in the phonebook) and he came out and got rid of them. He then pulled some of the honeycomb out and gave them a jar of honey that was literally as fresh as could be. It was awesome.

One of my sons has 2 colonies of honeybees and I told him that for birthdays and Christmas that's all I want, fresh honey from the hive. I have one jar left but, a birthday coming up in early August. Since it won't last, I Buy some locally organic, pure and unprocessed honey to keep it going since I practically use honey everyday.

Honey has so many practical uses it’s not even funny. From a respectable salve for burns to soothing sore throats, the stuff is amazing.

The Roman Legions used bread smeared with honey to heal wounds from battle. The bread would mold forming a type of penicillin and the honey killed bacteria formed from the mold. 2000 year old medication
