Local honey as natural medicine / ๆœ€่ฟ‘็ŸฅใฃใŸๅœฐๅŸŸใฎ่œ‚่œœใฎๅŠน็”จ

I love gardening and I am so happy when I see bees working hard in nature, especially when I find chubby ones ๐Ÿ˜Š How hardworking, how chubby, how cute they are!

The bees are cute and honey is delicious, especially since I moved to Germany, where beekeeping is popular, I use honey almost everyday. I buy local and my partner's mother gave us some from southern Germany. My mother loved honey, so I used to send it to her and bring it home as souvenirs.

Along with being delicious, honey also has a healthy image, doesn't it? When my daughter catches a cold, I give her a teaspoon of honey morning and night. Honey with warm milk make us sleep well. I also use honey in the ginger syrup that I always keep in my refrigerator.

In Germany, organic stores and recently drugstores are selling expensive Manuka honey from New Zealand and throat lozenges containing Manuka honey. Manuka honey itself is expensive, but I sometimes buy throat lozenges because I feel like they are effective and they are in away affordable around 3 EUR. They are more for my family, and I eat them even though I don't catch cold.

I love honey, but I used to use it without really knowing what the health benefits were ๐Ÿ˜‚ It's delicious and I wanted to support local beekeepers....

Then this winter, there was a good explanation in a podcast by a libertarian bitcoiner. Eating honey can help build up a tolerance to pollen in the region due to the trace amounts of pollen in the honey. It made sense. Fortunately, I don't have allergy, so I don't need any measures, but I'm sure that it also makes me more resistant to something else.

I think it is good to eat local honey and adapt to the environment we are living in. Good reason to eat honey from Germany, Sachsen and Leipzig and support local bee keepers.

I recently found a black sesame paste, and I ate Skyr with the black sesame paste and honey. It's a protein rich super snack. Yup, I feel like I'm getting healthier.

As a thank you to the bees, I will plant flowers on my balcony that they will enjoy and I will enjoy the local honey ๐Ÿฏ

Aaaahhh, this is beautiful, and YES to local, raw honey especially!! I get mine from a beautiful organic grower called Piera, and usually I buy the biggest jar (with no label) of castagna, because it is like a liquid gold richness on the local bread with mountain butter...

I know that there are mystical properties too, having some knowledge of the Melissa, and the Sacred Feminine in our subtle work with bees, and I know that we all have individually a unique relationship with the bees of our area, which should be honoured and respected by every living woman and man! I adore seeing the 'chubby' bees thriving on borage, acacia, dandelion family, citrus fruit flowers and pine, around where I live - it is a small oasis in the valley, but a vital place of nourishment and security for the bees, in a heavily-mechanised land of growing for commercial ends.
All power to our bees!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful post dearest @akipponn !!

Wow, your honey looks gorgeous like liquid gold as you wrote ๐Ÿ‘ I wish I have a direct connection to local bee keepers but actually they come to a local market sometimes. Me too, I respect bees, plants and people support them ๐Ÿ˜Š

You have been curated manually, keep up the good work!

Thanks @palomap3 & @ecency! I'm happy to have pocket money to buy another glass of honey ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿฏ

aww! I love this post. Bees are truly amazing. I don't keep bees myself but do plant a lot of flowers for them and they really add a lot of joy to our lives. I really love the packaging of the honey on the left, so cute!

Iโ€™m not keeping bees by myself and do the same as you do, flowers for them ๐Ÿ˜Š The cute one is from a local market. I like the package with the friendly bees. The old fashion one is also a smile maker. It might not changed for tens of years ๐Ÿฏ ๐Ÿ˜
