Honey Bee Facts
Bee Food
Honey is the only food that includes all the substances necessary to sustain life – including enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and water; and it’s the only food that contains “pinocembrin”, an antioxidant associated with improved brain functioning. Honey bees’ sense of smell is so precise that it differentiates between hundreds of different floral varieties, and tells whether a flower carries pollen or nectar – from meters away. Bees are the only insect that produce food that is used for human consumption in large enough quantities to make it economically feasible to raise.
