Treasuring the Benefits of Honey from Bees

__

Bees are very important because they are doing a very valuable task for our food production through pollinating flowers that produced food for us. I am so thankful with these insects for they are doing a good job in my garden. Additionally, I love bees because they are producing a valuable product called honey.

The Food Drugs Authority (FDA) defines honey as, “a thick, sweet, syrupy substance that bees make as food from the nectar of flowers and store in honeycombs.”

This thick liquid is compact with number of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that are beneficial for our health. Since ancient times until now we treasure the health benefits of honey.

Honey is used in many ways: for food, for cosmetics, and even as natural remedies for sicknesses and diseases.

I am glad to share in this article how I use honey and enjoy the benefits of it every day.
