There are 20,000 varieties of bees in North America, and all of them are important. Thanking an apiarist for owning bees because you are worried about declining bee populations is like thanking a farmer for owning chickens because you are worried about birds in the ecosystem.
I'm also a beekeeper (family has been beekeeping for 3 generations), and on the side I do pest control. And this comment section... I really love how theirs a more focus on bees and entomology, don't get me wrong. Yes we are in the stages of a massive colony breakdown (I lost 150 hives last year to CCD caused by harmful and aggressive pesticides, and another 75 to the extreme cold in the pacific NW which can be attributed to climate change.) and we're all grateful to the awareness that it being spread. But I have seen so many people In one breath say "save the bees! Support your local beekeeper! You need to be more environmentally conscious!" And then turn around with a can of raid and destroy a native hive or ground nest because it's not neatly packed in a box, and their all self righteous. Wasps and Hornets are part of this eco system too, and they have their place. I relocate the hives I capture if I can. Those areas you just riddled with the insect equivalent of a biochemical bomb are places where my bees go too, just, be mindful of what your putting into the ecosystem. It has consequences you cannot even imagine. If your having problems with a hive try hiring a pest control professional who (if it's an option, some hives you just cannot relocate because their in the walls or something) is able to not use pesticides, and if theirs a honeybee swarm, call your local beekeeper or beekeeping Guild, they'll be more than happy to handle it.
Good point and I might consider it in the future. But honestly if a wasp colony (not so much bees) settle too close to my house I will use bug spray to keep them away, thats not gonna change. I can let them be anywhere else but not where I live

Good information, I once had third degree burns on my hand. I had blisters and my skin came off around my fingers. I believe around the forth day after I started to use raw bee honey because I remembered honey was supposed to be good for burns. I can testify that my hand looks the same as my other hand that I was lucky that it healed well.
You are describing second degree burns - blisters and sloughing of skin but no charring. When I had that from boiling coolant splashing on my hand and the cuff of my shirt sleeve and sweatshirt, I used cold water for a few hours and it healed just fine.
some people think the loss of bees is evidence of danger with 'genetically modified' crops. . . The ones that are modified by virus and/or bacteria to be 'pest' resistant etc etc.
I really, really want to be a bee keeper since a long time ago. But I never once lived in a countryside, and still make a living in a city. I wish one day I could save some money to build an apiary, and brake through my comfort zone to become one.
You can be a beekeeper in the city. I've got friends in Philadelphia that keep bees. Some are kept in community gardens, or on roof tops. Check it out. I would take beekeeping classes and find a mentor before investing. It's not a cheap hobby, trust me. I've kept bees for close to 25 years.
Fun Fact: Archeologists found scriptures from the time of Ancient Egyptian Pharao Djoser and his Architect Imhotep that show how back then already (4700 years ago) doctors/healers preferably treated open wounds with a layer of honey to prevent it from getting infected.
Another fun fact, ottoman empire used it to to bring the sultan the heads of their enemies without getting rotten quick. They used to dip the severed head into honey and transport it like that.
@@ayes1669 The Ottoman Empire didn't torture the people in the places they took over, nor the soldiers they captured. If you want to generalize an entire religion then look at England. They caused chaos EVERYWHERE they went.
But! A lot of what is sold in the grocery store as "honey" really isn't. If your honey is nice and clear, it has been highly filtered. Technically, if the pollen has been filtered out, the product no longer fits the definition of "honey". Worse yet, they pasteurize it - not only is pasteurization totally unnecessary, it destroys the health promoting enzymes. Then, they cut it with high fructose corn syrup. The best source for honey is from local beekeepers. Raw, right from the hive, with bits of comb and what-not still included. Failing that, next best would be a health food store. Again, look for local if at all possible. Locally produced honey will have local pollens and can actually reduce allergies! But RAW honey is most important whether it is local or not.
My parents always buy this delicious thick honey that isn't clear. It's sooooooo tasty. I've eaten both and the one straight from the hive is way better. It doesn't have little bee limbs or whatever on it. Bees know how to dispose of dead bees and keep them away from the honey.
How about filtered enough to get rid of mites and bee bits, but not the pollen? And how are bee bits getting into the honey, anyway? Bees dump their dead pretty darn quick, and living ones are more than capable of flying away. How sloppy are the bee keepers?! Do they carry fly swatters with them when they go to collect?
@@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid I'm sure that some will accept it, yes. Hanging prepositions are accepted by some too, but I like it when people don't use them.
Would like to see him elaborate further on how exactly hospitals use honey, and what the reason is that it is a certain grade of honey (plus how that grade is reached).
Well it's because if you apply honey to an open wound, it's like your adding a protective layer of antibacterial shielding. In the middle ages, doctors would cauterize and kill surface bacteria with boiling wine, then apply honey to the wound to make sure new bacteria doesn't get into it, then cover the wound up with a form of bandage. That's how most flesh wounds were treated! No wonder how we got so far in advancing medicine, amazing isn't it?
@@captainkiok881 You'll find it interesting to note perhaps that there was no concept of bacterium, what that even was, or even how to prevent bacterial infections because they didn't understand the mechanisms involved with microbiology, at least until perhaps later in 1600's perhaps. Yet, by then there were treatments passed through generations that perhaps stumbled upon varying degrees of effectiveness, and others not.
+Tactavious I just got some from the store the other day (getting hyped on honey recently lol) and I was surprised when that was the first thing I read on it I guess just another reason to always read the label on everything
I have used honey 3 times for bacterial infections. The worst one was a severe infected cyst just under my jaw, the whole side of my face was swollen with tooth and ear ache. I was in the hospital for 5 days on iv antibiotics and steroids. I still had the infected cyst when I went home. I filled a plastic spoon with honey, and smeared and held up the honey to the cyst for 15 minutes then splashed it with water in the shower. The pus from the infection started pouring out and I had to keep swishing it down the drain, when I brushed my teeth the pus ran out into the basin. For the rest of the day I used paper towel Kleenex was too small. The wound was completely cleaned out from infection and then healed.
For those who don't understand the pH thing Hank said: Water is pH7 Honey is pH4 Honey is roughly a thousand times more acidic than water because 7-4 = 3. And 10^3 = 1000
that really doesnt work to help anyone understand how acidic honey is considered because most people (including me) are unable to notice the acidity in water, cant taste it, is overwhelmed by its other chemical properties when used as a cleaner. so from my perspective 1000 times as acidic as water is effectively 1000*0 so 0. so to help myself and perhaps others i will use the method you demonstrated to explain its acidity. distilled vinegar has a PH of about 2.6 (according to wikipedia), so 2.6-4=1.4 and 10^1.4=~25 so honey is 1/25th as acidic as distilled vinegar.
I am a nurse & have used pharmaceutical grade honey as part of wound care routines/treatments in the hospital!! I personally put organic honey on small burns, acne, everything!
Too bad most of the "honey" sold in stores is just honey flavored corn syrup. I'm fortunate to live in the midwest where beekeepers are almost everywhere, I can get fresh REAL honey fairly easily during the spring and summer. Local honey is truly the greatest, not only because of the amazing flavor, but it's produced from the same pollens that cause your seasonal allergies. If you suffer from seasonal allergies eating local honey will definitely help you out.
A few years ago i went to a really out of the way place in Egypt to give some free first aid training. We had all the books and modern knowledge and I guess in that knowledge felt self righteous. When i asked .a group how do you treat a burn they said “put honey on it” - “ oh no” i said “you do this blah blah blah”. Little did i know how correct they were. The honey protected the burn from becoming infected. I also asked how to treat a bleeding wound, their answer- pour coffee granules on it!! I was shocked at this utter lack of knowledge and common sense until i found out that coffee granules act as a very powerful coagulant!! In our quest to move forward we often ignore our knowledge from the past!
I miss those times we had beehives in our garden and i could just chew on a honeycomb, just before they were put into a honey extractor. Loved to turn that handle and watch honey flowing to jars :)
@@jacqueboyce3176 Really? Parts of bees? It is possible to sometimes find that in honey, yet it is very unlikely. Bees are very clean and they don't leave their dead parts lying around in hive and ESPECIALLY not inside honey. If there are any bee parts, it is most likely that someone damaged a bee during honeycomb extraction but from my experience, beekepers try to be really careful and delicate. My grandpa had a special brush made out of feathers to brush off bees from combs. And rotary honey extractor is not a cofee grinder. It doesn't chop up bits inside. It's only rotating a few frames with honey combs, making honey to splash on sides and flow freely down.
In Greece and I believe that's how it works in EU in general, the manufacturers can label a product as honey only if that product is 100% honey. If it has even a small percentage of aromatics or whatever, then it has to be labelled a sweet product instead of honey.
@@perseusarkouda True, it's got to have a single ingredient (honey ofc) and the manufacturer has to specify where the honey comes from, either EU or Non-EU.
The scientific/explanation part is flawless. I just wish there's more in terms of advice and application in/for the real world. In the beginning I was unsure if the dude wanted me to have it part of my diet or have it apply on wounds or scratches. When he said "eat" in the end I thought, "Oh, alright." But all that explaining to only have the bottom line 'eat'? I don't know sounds lacking. Incidentally, this is kind of why I get put off with the academe sometimes. Everything is either facts and theories but there's not even examples to cite in real life. But let's not end it on a negative note. Bees are awesome and we should protect them at all costs.
Eating it does nothing for wound care. The research says medical grade MANUKA honey applied topically under appropriate guidance from a wound care specialist is effective. This cannot be generalized to other types of honey, as manuka honey has special properties including the increased amount of OH ions which contribute to its antibacterial/ bacteriostatic effectiveness. There are loads of studies on this available thru Coghlan’s if you’re interested. I did a project on this in a research course in nursing school about 10 years ago.
im glad to learn that im not the only one that love this , im 42 and nobody never wanted to try it ^^ so now you got 11 thumbs up , it s time to get our own honey/peanut butter festival !!
We use Manuka honey on our horses for wounds. Our BIG guy had a stick stuck in about 15" inches in an upwards direction from the bottom of his chest toward his neck . It was approximately 2" in diameter and left a big hole when we pulled it out. Another one had a 6' triangular flap of skin hanging off his chest. Both healed up very quickly and you now have to look very hard to see where it was. Put a generous amount on the wounds, and kept re-applying as necessary. And what really surprised me was there were no flies or other insects that were attracted to it. It may be expensive, but it's worth its weight in gold when it comes to healing.
Not necessarily. I'm a beekeeper and do buy the bears to put some of my honey in because people just love the little bears. I prefer to sell my honey in glass though. It's easier to decrystalize it in glass. Provided it lasts in your pantry long enough to crystallize. 😆
The name makes perfect sense, if you have an appreciation for the nomenclature of chemicals and compounds. Also it's far far from the worst offender in terms of long scientific names. You can Google examples.
Sweet video SchiShow!! I love honey, it's the bees knees, the queen of the crop. It gives me wings and doesn't give me hives. Sounds like it can keep us out of some sticky situations.
It's 2020, and last I was aware of, there still has NEVER been a confirmed case of botulism poisoning caused by ingesting honey by an infant. Spores can be present in the honey, but spores are also found in many other foods in their inactive state. Honey has been given a bad rap in this case. If I am wrong please let me know of the spcific case and documentation so I may correct my thinking. I've kept bees for the last 20 years and there have been many challanges, this being one of them.

I'm also a beekeeper (family has been beekeeping for 3 generations), and on the side I do pest control. And this comment section...
I really love how theirs a more focus on bees and entomology, don't get me wrong. Yes we are in the stages of a massive colony breakdown (I lost 150 hives last year to CCD caused by harmful and aggressive pesticides, and another 75 to the extreme cold in the pacific NW which can be attributed to climate change.) and we're all grateful to the awareness that it being spread.
But I have seen so many people In one breath say "save the bees! Support your local beekeeper! You need to be more environmentally conscious!" And then turn around with a can of raid and destroy a native hive or ground nest because it's not neatly packed in a box, and their all self righteous. Wasps and Hornets are part of this eco system too, and they have their place. I relocate the hives I capture if I can. Those areas you just riddled with the insect equivalent of a biochemical bomb are places where my bees go too, just, be mindful of what your putting into the ecosystem. It has consequences you cannot even imagine.
If your having problems with a hive try hiring a pest control professional who (if it's an option, some hives you just cannot relocate because their in the walls or something) is able to not use pesticides, and if theirs a honeybee swarm, call your local beekeeper or beekeeping Guild, they'll be more than happy to handle it.
Good point and I might consider it in the future. But honestly if a wasp colony (not so much bees) settle too close to my house I will use bug spray to keep them away, thats not gonna change. I can let them be anywhere else but not where I live
Silent spring. That's a book. Let's hope it isn't a reality. Silent spring.
I'm allergic to wasps. I prefer to call a professional, bit I will do what I have to to keep myself safe.
I have found red wasps to be not aggressive but hornets still freak me out.

Good information, I once had third degree burns on my hand. I had blisters and my skin came off around my fingers. I believe around the forth day after I started to use raw bee honey because I remembered honey was supposed to be good for burns. I can testify that my hand looks the same as my other hand that I was lucky that it healed well.

But! A lot of what is sold in the grocery store as "honey" really isn't. If your honey is nice and clear, it has been highly filtered. Technically, if the pollen has been filtered out, the product no longer fits the definition of "honey". Worse yet, they pasteurize it - not only is pasteurization totally unnecessary, it destroys the health promoting enzymes. Then, they cut it with high fructose corn syrup. The best source for honey is from local beekeepers. Raw, right from the hive, with bits of comb and what-not still included. Failing that, next best would be a health food store. Again, look for local if at all possible. Locally produced honey will have local pollens and can actually reduce allergies! But RAW honey is most important whether it is local or not.
+Betsy Singh-Anand Wow! Is that so? Interesting! Thanx for the info! :)
My parents always buy this delicious thick honey that isn't clear. It's sooooooo tasty. I've eaten both and the one straight from the hive is way better. It doesn't have little bee limbs or whatever on it. Bees know how to dispose of dead bees and keep them away from the honey.
How about filtered enough to get rid of mites and bee bits, but not the pollen? And how are bee bits getting into the honey, anyway? Bees dump their dead pretty darn quick, and living ones are more than capable of flying away. How sloppy are the bee keepers?! Do they carry fly swatters with them when they go to collect?
It should only be SLIGHTLY filtered, not enough to get rid of all the good stuff, but enough to remove junk in the honey.
Mites are the source of health tho
I like how the stock image used was the bear with “honey”. that stuffs just high fructose corn syrup. It’s expensive but I like Manuka honey

Would like to see him elaborate further on how exactly hospitals use honey, and what the reason is that it is a certain grade of honey (plus how that grade is reached).
Well it's because if you apply honey to an open wound, it's like your adding a protective layer of antibacterial shielding. In the middle ages, doctors would cauterize and kill surface bacteria with boiling wine, then apply honey to the wound to make sure new bacteria doesn't get into it, then cover the wound up with a form of bandage. That's how most flesh wounds were treated! No wonder how we got so far in advancing medicine, amazing isn't it?
@@captainkiok881 Indeed.
@@captainkiok881 You'll find it interesting to note perhaps that there was no concept of bacterium, what that even was, or even how to prevent bacterial infections because they didn't understand the mechanisms involved with microbiology, at least until perhaps later in 1600's perhaps.

I have used honey 3 times for bacterial infections. The worst one was a severe infected cyst just under my jaw, the whole side of my face was swollen with tooth and ear ache. I was in the hospital for 5 days on iv antibiotics and steroids. I still had the infected cyst when I went home. I filled a plastic spoon with honey, and smeared and held up the honey to the cyst for 15 minutes then splashed it with water in the shower. The pus from the infection started pouring out and I had to keep swishing it down the drain, when I brushed my teeth the pus ran out into the basin. For the rest of the day I used paper towel Kleenex was too small. The wound was completely cleaned out from infection and then healed.

For those who don't understand the pH thing Hank said:
Water is pH7
Honey is pH4
Honey is roughly a thousand times more acidic than water because 7-4 = 3. And 10^3 = 1000
Logs 101
So do you know how decimals work? My chemistry 11 teacher won't tell me.
Teagan P Chem 11? Do you happen to be in BC?
Why?
that really doesnt work to help anyone understand how acidic honey is considered because most people (including me) are unable to notice the acidity in water, cant taste it, is overwhelmed by its other chemical properties when used as a cleaner. so from my perspective 1000 times as acidic as water is effectively 1000*0 so 0.
so to help myself and perhaps others i will use the method you demonstrated to explain its acidity. distilled vinegar has a PH of about 2.6 (according to wikipedia), so 2.6-4=1.4 and 10^1.4=~25 so honey is 1/25th as acidic as distilled vinegar.
I am a nurse & have used pharmaceutical grade honey as part of wound care routines/treatments in the hospital!! I personally put organic honey on small burns, acne, everything!
I tried telling my friend this. Told her honey has antibacterial properties. She'd rather take prescription antibiotics.
Too bad most of the "honey" sold in stores is just honey flavored corn syrup. I'm fortunate to live in the midwest where beekeepers are almost everywhere, I can get fresh REAL honey fairly easily during the spring and summer.
Local honey is truly the greatest, not only because of the amazing flavor, but it's produced from the same pollens that cause your seasonal allergies. If you suffer from seasonal allergies eating local honey will definitely help you out.
Thank you I'm going to try that. Hope that helps my allergies even if they arent that bad.
Wait, I'm not following, Doesn't that mean you'll get more allergies?

When i asked .a group how do you treat a burn they said “put honey on it” - “ oh no” i said “you do this blah blah blah”. Little did i know how correct they were. The honey protected the burn from becoming infected. I also asked how to treat a bleeding wound, their answer- pour coffee granules on it!! I was shocked at this utter lack of knowledge and common sense until i found out that coffee granules act as a very powerful coagulant!! In our quest to move forward we often ignore our knowledge from the past!

@@jacqueboyce3176 Really? Parts of bees? It is possible to sometimes find that in honey, yet it is very unlikely. Bees are very clean and they don't leave their dead parts lying around in hive and ESPECIALLY not inside honey. If there are any bee parts, it is most likely that someone damaged a bee during honeycomb extraction but from my experience, beekepers try to be really careful and delicate. My grandpa had a special brush made out of feathers to brush off bees from combs.
And rotary honey extractor is not a cofee grinder. It doesn't chop up bits inside. It's only rotating a few frames with honey combs, making honey to splash on sides and flow freely down.

The scientific/explanation part is flawless. I just wish there's more in terms of advice and application in/for the real world. In the beginning I was unsure if the dude wanted me to have it part of my diet or have it apply on wounds or scratches. When he said "eat" in the end I thought, "Oh, alright." But all that explaining to only have the bottom line 'eat'? I don't know sounds lacking. Incidentally, this is kind of why I get put off with the academe sometimes. Everything is either facts and theories but there's not even examples to cite in real life.
But let's not end it on a negative note.
Bees are awesome and we should protect them at all costs.
Eating it does nothing for wound care. The research says medical grade MANUKA honey applied topically under appropriate guidance from a wound care specialist is effective. This cannot be generalized to other types of honey, as manuka honey has special properties including the increased amount of OH ions which contribute to its antibacterial/ bacteriostatic effectiveness. There are loads of studies on this available thru Coghlan’s if you’re interested. I did a project on this in a research course in nursing school about 10 years ago.

We use Manuka honey on our horses for wounds. Our BIG guy had a stick stuck in about 15" inches in an upwards direction from the bottom of his chest toward his neck . It was approximately 2" in diameter and left a big hole when we pulled it out. Another one had a 6' triangular flap of skin hanging off his chest. Both healed up very quickly and you now have to look very hard to see where it was. Put a generous amount on the wounds, and kept re-applying as necessary. And what really surprised me was there were no flies or other insects that were attracted to it. It may be expensive, but it's worth its weight in gold when it comes to healing.
Wish if I can afford it for my medical condition it's really expensive :(

+Ironwill Steelton There's a developmental protein that's vital to vertebrate development which its discoverers named (no kidding) "Sonic Hedgehog".
And there's a potential inhibitor of this protein called "Robotnikinin".

NO! Anti-skub!
Right. Read a Roman history once where a solder's wound that had been caused by a sword had been packed with honey by the troop's surgeon.
They still use honey to treat wounds to this day.
EXCELLENT!! Thank you very much. Professional and clear, perfect!
Its 4 minutes 20 second long video and been watched for 4.2 million times. Wow, nice.....

A bee stung me in the neck while I was running down the tip of A Mountain in Tucson, AZ. I felt bad I got in his way :(
They really are the super heroes of our world.

Yeah, more botulism spores!

@@ShadowfaxSTP LOL
Raw is always better 😌

Nature is just stunning. What a splendid video. Thank you
I've recently had the pleasure to eat Grecian Thyme Honey originally collected from the 1960s. It was partially deep brown and crystalline. The aromatic heady sweetness was like a beautiful dream that I will never forget.
One more reason to save the bees ;-;
creamy0bear amen
I remember hearing babies shouldn't have hiney but never knew why, now I do! Honey really is super cool! I'm so glad bees have stopped being so demonitozed by media in favor of protecting them and realizing wasps are truly the real evil. God, I love bees.

Arachnids whatever want to call them
