🍯🧪 Researchers note that honey’s low moisture and acidic pH create a naturally shelf-stable #environment. These properties explain why #honey found in #ancient Egyptian tombs remains preserved after 3,000 years.

Why Ancient Egyptian Honey Remains Edible After 3,000 Years

The global bee population comes up in the news every now and again. Sometimes we're assured that the number is stable or rising; more often, we're warned about collapsing colonies and the large-scale ecological disaster that could result.

2 hours of work for this much #Dandelion honey. It basically tastes just like honey.

True fact: The Anglo-Saxons called it "piss-a-bed" because it can make you need to pee.

I can't eat honey myself "on account of the #gout " But this stuff doesn't have any of the same issues related to honey from bees.

The kids like it, and I'll eat it, so it's a winner.

Do this... it is worth it.

Honestly. I am not much of an #achievements hunter. Sure, I like getting shiny badges but 🤷‍♀️ , and as humans are, I imagined everybody was like me, and there were no achievements for #AThousandBees when it went live. I have since learned better :D So enjoy your #honey-scented #badges in the newest update!

🍯 Spring hit ASKA: the Hearth & Honey update lets vikings BREW honey & mead. Expeditions to swamp isles hunt wild hives, the craft grows into tavern culture and taverns can be upgraded to 3.

New warehouse stats make tracking supplies easy; hunters can now venture into mines and face crawling creatures, so underground runs are noticeably more dangerous.

My neighbour has taken up bee-keeping. A few weeks ago he bought over some honeycombs. I left it sit on my kitchen bench for a few weeks. Occasionally I would open the container and scoop up some honey with my fingers. But today I started googling how to separate the honey from the beeswax. Unless the neighbour starts giving me a lot more it probably won't be worth too much effort. I think I ended up with about 200ml of honey. And I know for certain that there is no added sugar, unlike those supermarket brands .
