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 MAY 23-29, 2005
WEATHER: Afternoon winds here in town gave everyone a good idea of what to expect out on the water this week. The wind was from the NW and fairly steady most of the week, shifting to come from the South or SW in the late afternoons. A steady 10-15 knots most of the time. The skies were only partly cloudy for most of the week and we had no rain. Our day time highs were in the low 90s and high 80s and the night time lows were in the mid 60s here in town.
WATER: This week the conditions are just the same as last week with the exception that the intrusion of cold water we had wrapping around the Cape due to the California current was much stronger, colder and with green water. This finger ran from the Cape and up the Sea of Cortez from a half mile to mile offshore to just outside the 95 and 1150 spots. With temperatures in the 65 and 66 degree range this finger extended up to five miles past the outer Gorda Banks. There was a temperature break of almost 5 degrees just along the outside edge of the finger of water and it ran from the NE to the SW. We did have the continued NW winds causing very rough conditions on the Pacific side of the Cape, so rough that few, if any, boats tried to fish past the lighthouse. On the Cortez side the conditions were much better if you got past the Chileno area; the way the winds blew it was still lumpy to the southeast of the cape. Up in the Punta Gorda and Gorda Banks area it was a bit choppier than last week. Having the water between 63 and 67 degrees on the Pacific side was not a problem since the conditions were so rough.
BAIT: Back to getting Mackerel at the usual $2 per bait and there were some Sardinas early in the week at San Jose for $20 a bucket.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The cold water intrusion from the Pacific side of the Cape pushed the Striped Marlin that had been concentrated at Punta Gorda farther up the coast to the Los Frailles area, an easy 40 mile run, easy that is until you turned and came back against the wind and chop! There were also Marlin found on the warm side of the temperature break at the outside of the cold finger of water. Boats fishing the Frailles area reported a fair early morning bite with two to three fish per day as long as they were there before 10 am. There was almost no action after that. The bite outside the finger of cold green water was a bit more consistent even though not as many fish were seen in the area. Almost everyone fishing in this area had at least one shot at a hook up. On the way to the temperature break you went through the green water and there were Swordfish sighted there, I found one on the surface yesterday just to the south of the 95 spot, but I have not heard of any boats hooking up to them, although I am sure some have.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: The Tuna that were holding at the Gorda Banks last week seem to have either gone off the bite or gone somewhere else. A few are still being caught but not enough to make the trip worthwhile just for them. There have been small football Yellowfin everywhere along the temperature break on the Cortez side and I have heard guys on the radio discussing finding Tuna in the cold green water on the Pacific side early in the morning. A lot of these fish were blind strikes, no porpoise in the area. Cedar plugs worked great and once you got a strike and hooked up you worked the area for a while. It was not uncommon to get multiple hits each pass on the fish.
DORADO: I think I saw a total of 10 Dorado flags this week, and that should say it all. Wait for warmer water.
WAHOO: There are still Wahoo out there but they are not holding around the usual structure. Fish are being found off the 50 fathom drop at Red Hill and at Punta Gorda, as well as along the temperature break outside the 95 spot. While fishing there yesterday (and getting beat up in the 50 Viking) we had a double strike on nice fish, losing one lure and landing a Wahoo of about 70 pounds. Making another pass on the spot we hooked up two Bonita and had one of the 8 pound fish sliced cleanly in half by a Wahoo we estimated at over #100 just before trying to lift the Bonita out of the water. An hour later and four miles away we had another Wahoo hooked as part of a double strike. We lost the Wahoo just before the boat but brought in the 10 pound Yellowfin that struck at the same time.
INSHORE: A few boats were able to work along the shoreline on the Pacific side up as far as the lighthouse, but the water was rough. There were Sierra and some Yellowtail in the area that provided some action. The Cortez side had better water conditions early in the morning most days and there were Snapper, Grouper and a few Sierra as well.
NOTES: Swordfish have everyones attention this week and hopefully the winds will die down and allow better sighting of the fish. I wouldnt mind a night on the water drifting baits for them either! If the winds do die we should have some great action for the coming week, with such a defined temperature break there should be steady action all along the edge. This weeks report was written to the music of Rick Wakeman on his very relaxing 2002 Master Music CD The Natural World Trilogy. Until next week, tight lines!
