Aug 1, 2023; 07:26AM - They Don't Teach You This About Honey Bees in Schools

Tip&Trick Description 1:
1. Honey is the only food that has every single substance to sustain life.
2. Honey doesn't ever turn bad. You can actually eat honey that was found in Egyptian tombs
thousands of years ago. (if you dare) ‼️
3. A single bee produces just HALF a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. Hard work.
4. The darker the honey, the more powerful its medicinal properties and the less sweet it is.
The inverse also holds true.
5. Honey is the original antibiotic. It's been used as an antibacterial and antifungal for
generations.
6. Honey is a natural sleeping pill. Consuming honey aids with the production of melatonin.
Drink a warm cup of chamomile and take a shot of honey to the dome. Game changer.
7. You don't need to wash your honey dipper if you leave it in the jar of honey itself. Honey
is a natural preservative, so bacteria will not grow.
8. To make one pound of honey, bees need to visit 2 million flowers. 2 MILLION.

Tip&Trick Description 2:
9. Honey is the only food made by an insect that's actually eaten by BOTH the insect and us.
We're literally best friends.
10. Honey is one of the original remedies for an everyday cough & allergies. Local honey is
said to be useful in curing seasonal allergies.
11. Bees don't sleep. Work hard. Play hard.
12. Honey is excellent on burns. Cool the burn in running water. Pat it dry. Apply raw, organic
honey. It will speed up healing and even reduce any eventual scarring.
13. Babies under 12 months of age shouldn't ingest honey (their immune system isn't yet strong
enough to handle a certain strain of bacteria that's quite prevalent in honey)
14. Honey, like a lot of 'animal-based' products have a myriad of topical and oral applications
that make it incredibly versatile. Nature's all purpose drug.
15. The only honey that exists in my world is raw, organic unfiltered honey. To pasteurize
honey is to ruin the work of thousands of bees. You are literally a war criminal.
16. Everyone raves about Manuka honey, but the real ones have tried Jarrah. If you know, you
know.
17. Honey is one of the best hydration sources in the world. Honey > Pre Workout.
18. Honey is nature's moisturizer. |

18. Honey is nature's moisturizer.
19. Royal jelly is a special compound that worker bees secret; so potent it can transform an
ordinary bee into a queen bee. It's like a concentrated, supercharged version of honey.
20. The honey bee is a crucial part of our ecosystem. Without their help, over a third of all
food eaten in America wouldn't exist.
21. Honey should be a key ingredient in shampoos. Cleopatra did it. Why shouldn't we?
22. Bees communicate with other bees by dancing. That's how they signal where the best flowers
are. Seems familiar...
23. Honey is a source of flavanoids and phenolic acids — antioxidants which have been studied
to have incredible anti-inflammatory and even anti-cancer properties.
24. The hexagonal shape of honeycomb cells is a MARVEL. How did they know to use hexagons?
Hexagons are the most efficient shape to store the maximum amount of honey with the least
amount of wax needed to build. Geniuses.
To the anti-honey community:
When we eat honey we are NOT stealing from bees. It's a symbiotic relationship. We protect them
from the harsh conditions of nature, giving them a safe space to have their fun and make their
vomit.
They are so happy that they usually produce more honey than they could ever physically consume.
By consuming their excess honey, we are actually helping them restore balance in the hive.
So yes people, eat more honey. Buy all the varieties. Gift it to everyone around you. And
always remember to give thanks to our wonderful striped yellow friends

STRIPED MARLIN: TWO FISH TAGGED AND RELEASED (#75, #80)
DORADO: ONE FISH KEPT (#50)
FLY HOOKER FISH REPORT FOR JUNE , 2004
Today was my birthday and since there were no charters booked for the day, it was time to have a little fun! Mary and I, along with our friends Dave McNabb and Ina Yank had Juan and Manuel take us out for a little fishing. It was supposed to be a half day, and hopefully could get a Dorado or Tuna, maybe even a Wahoo, for dinner! Since Mary tends to get seasick, I told Manuel to keep us on the Sea of Cortez and not more than three miles out, the water in close had been like a lake. We did not have any action for the first hour and a half, and it was not until we got up near the Westin that any action happened. Once there, we had a hard strike on the Marauder run close to the boat, and bringing it in to look at afterward you cold see the new Wahoo cuts on the body. Shoot, which would have been great for dinner. A little later Manuel spotted a Striped Marlin come in on the long lure and goosed the boat to keep the lure away and get the fish mad. Juan dropped back a live bait, Manuel slowed the boat and suddenly I was fighting a Striped Marlin! It didnt take very long and we did get a few jumps out of the fish. I fought the fish standing up and it took about 12 minutes before it was at the side of the boat. I placed a tag and Juan removed the hook from the corner of the mouth. The Marlin was only about #75, but it was a good start! A little later, and about 5 miles off the Palmilla area we spotted an inflatable boat that looked like it might be fighting a fish. Manuel turned in that direction and as he yelled that there were three Marlin up ahead, I saw that someone in the inflatable was waving a red shirt from a paddle. Well, if they were sinking we would have headed over there right away, but they seemed all right for the moment, and by then Dave was hooked up to a Striped Marlin! It took him about 15 minutes to get the fish to the boat, also fighting it stand up style, and the fish jumped very near the inflatable several times. After tagging and releasing his fish (about #5 bigger than mine) we went over to check on the inflatable. It was a dad, his son and daughter and sons friend. They had an electrical problem with his outboard and couldnt get it started again. We rigged a bridle, got everyone on the Fly Hooker and towed them in to Palmilla. The kids we let us know that seeing the Marlin Dave fought jumping so close to them was really cool. After getting them taken care of at Palmilla we ran out a mile and resumed fishing our way back to Cabo. On the way we had another strike from a Wahoo that did not hook up, and we had one small Dorado try and eat a lure, but the fish just did one back flip when it hooked up, then came off. No fish for dinner, but we had a nice day on the water and were able to do a favor for someone who needed it.
FLY HOOKER DAILY FISH REPORT FOR JUNLY 3, 2004
It is the day before the 4th of July holiday and we have an old friend from Guam aboard the boat today, along with his sister, son-in-law and daughter. Wayne Baumunk worked on Guam during the late 70s and the 80s as a dive instructor and a few other things, and it was nice to hear from him when he was inquiring about the fishing. Well, we introduced them to Juan and Manuel, and Wayne said he really wanted Tuna or Dorado, so the guys took the boat up to the area between Punta Ballena and Red hill and worked the area offshore from 1 mile to 5 miles really hard. During the morning they saw three Striped Marlin but none of them would eat a live bait, but they had no strikes from any eating fish. It was not until on the way back at 12:45 that they hooked up to a big Dorado. Waynes son-in-law just had surgery for carpel tunnel and was not going to be fighting a fish so Wayne was on the rod. It took him about 15 minutes to get the fish close enough for Juan to gaff, and it was right around #50! A very nice Dorado that had beautiful fillets! Manuel turned the boat back and they made another pass in the area and this time a Marlin struck! Too big for the girls so Wayne was back in the chair again. This time the fight took 40 minutes, but at the end Juan was able to tag and release a Blue Marlin that they estimated at #250. Wayne was tired by then! Sometime during the trip they found a Turtle sleeping on the surface and there was a nice Dorado in the shade under it. They made a pass with the lures, tried live bait and then cut bait, but the fish was not interested. Manuel tried to get the boat close enough to free gaff the fish, but the Turtle woke up and went down, taking the Dorado with him. Not a bad end to the day, but all the action happened at the tide change, during high tide. If we could have predicted that it would have been nice. Anyway, congratulations Wayne, you should be receiving your release certificate from the Billfish Foundation sometime soon!
