- one spoonful of honey is enough to keep a person alive for twenty four hours

- honey is one of the few foods on earth that alone can sustain human life.

- bees saved people from starvation in Africa.

- propolis produced by bees is one of nature's most powerful antibiotics.

- honey has no expiration date.

- the bodies of the world's greatest emperors were buried in golden coffins and then covered with honey to prevent them from rotting.

- the term "honeymoon" comes from the fact that the young couple consumed honey for fertility purposes after marriage.

- a bee lives less than forty days, visits at least thousand flowers and produces less than a teaspoon of honey, but for her it is the work of a lifetime.

Thank you, dear bees!
