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

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT MARCH 14-20, 2004
WEATHER: Once again the week started out a bit cloudy then cleared up at the end. It also
warmed up quite a bit! Today is the first day of spring and it feels like the middle of summer as
we had temperatures in the high 90s yesterday. Our night time lows have risen to the high 60s
as well and we have put away the comforters and plugged in the floor fans. The humidity has
stayed fairly low so we dont have the muggy feeling we will get later in the summer, all in all it
has been a great week for good weather!
WATER: The cold water this week remained on the Pacific side of the Cape with the water
temps staying in the mid to high 60s out to a distance of 15 to 25 miles. On the Cortez side, the
water was 72 to 75 degrees out to 30 miles and very blue. Once past that, the temps dropped to
71 and the color turned green. Of course all the fish have been in the warmer blue water! No
strong temp breaks this week, at least close enough for us to fish. The winds have been light and
that has meant great surface conditions, little swell and even less chop.
BAIT: Almost all the bait this week was small Caballito and they were the normal $2 per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Finally! The water on the Cortez side warmed up to 72 degrees and turned blue
and all of a sudden the Striped Marlin started to show up again! There have been a lot of fish
showing up just inside and to the north of the 95 spot. It was not uncommon at the end of the
week to see at least a dozen Marlin on the surface at the end of the week, and there were times
when over two dozen were spotted during the course of a trip. Just because you see them does
not mean they are going to eat though! Dark colored lures and live bait were the best bets and
almost all the fish were found on the Cortez side.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: As the Marlin showed up and the moon got small, the Tuna became
harder to find, at least the nicer sized fish. Most of the fish being caught were footballs in the 6 to
12 pound size but there were occasions when the school fish popped up and crashed the lures. I
did not hear of many of the large fish caught this week though, nothing over 100 pounds. The
larger fish (#45-#80) were found on the Pacific side out around 20 miles and were associated
with Porpoise. On the Cortez side the fish were much smaller and still associated with the
Porpoise. Best bets were small dark colored feathers.
DORADO: A dead Whale was found on Wednesday, just past the 95 spot and that was the
source for most of the Dorado action this week. Almost every boat that worked the carcass on
Wednesday, and those that were able to find it again on Thursday were able to get at least a few
Dorado in the boat, and they were pretty nice fish as well. Other than that, the action was sparse
and scattered. Most of it was on the Cortez side as that was where the warmer water has been.
Live bait and bright colored lures were the keys to getting one of these great eating fish in the
boat.
WAHOO: Still few are far between, there were some caught this week off of the banks on the
Inner and Outer Gorda. A few were found out in the open as well, but we are just waiting for the
next full moon.
INSHORE: The Sierra bite continued to improve and the fish have increased in average size. A
lot of the Pangas were able to get into fish in the 10 pound class. One of the secrets to a good
Sierra catch this week appeared to be getting the lures (Rapallas or hootchies) down 15 feet or so.
A planer on a handline with a release clip sure did the trick for a few folks. Small Roosterfish have
been appearing now and then as well as some Amberjack.
NOTES: The warm water has moved in and the fishing has improved. Our fingers are crossed
that it continues to do so. Lets hope that the lights we are seeing a mile or two offshore at night
are just bait fishermen and not longliners setting lines at night, or we may be in for a long, slow
season. The Whale sightings are tapering off, not quite as many as there were last month. My
music for the weeks report was the incomparable Patsy Cline on the MCA 1988 release 12
Greatest Hits. I rarely suggest a website for folks to check out, but I think I may start doing that
as well. As my choice this week, may I suggest that anyone who plays, or aspires to play any type
of guitar, from beginner to professional, look at www.guitarnoise.com Until next week, tight line
and good music!
