What Do you know about the wax moth? 1) The presence of the enzyme in the psiriasis extract is capable of dissolving the wax and wax-like substances of shells disease (including TB) microorganisms, the product can be used in the treatment and prevention of pulmonary tuberculosis and bronchopulmonary diseases. (Karneev 1999) 2) The combination of pollen extract and bee moth larvae allows for enhanced antianemic properties of these two components by stimulating the synthesis of blood cells (red cells, platelets and hemoglobin). (N.V. Dmitriev, 1993) 3) It has hypotensive, anti-sclerotic action and prevents scarring of the myocardium, causing resorption and replacement of the contractile muscle tissue. A systematic and regular use of the extract causes sustained blood pressure reduction of 12-19%, improves the cardiovascular system, prevents age-related changes in the blood vessels. (Mukhin, 1993) 4) It is effective for burns. 5) The extract helps to restore patency of the fallopian tubes, influences the differentiation of the cells lining the mucous membrane of the uterus and tubes (Spiridonov, 1992), is recommended for the treatment of menopausal disorders, infertility, miscarriage pregnancy. 6) It has a notable anabolic effect, increases endurance, possesses anti-stress activity.

Difference Between Bumblebees and Honey Bees. APPEARANCE Bumblebees are robust, large in girth, have more hairs on their body and are colored with yellow, orange and black. Their wings can be easily seen since they are darkish in color. The tip of their abdomen is rounded. Honeybees are more slender in body appearance, have fewer body hairs and wings that are more translucent. The tip of their abdomen is more pointed. AGGRESSIVENESS. In general, honeybees and bumblebees are not overly aggressive when protecting their nest. However, both will readily sting to defend themselves or their colony. The primary difference in their stinging behavior relates to the greater number of honeybees that sting when compared to bumblebees. While a honeybee only stings once, a bumblebee is capable of stinging multiple times. LONGEVITY The bumblebee queen lives for one year and overwinters at the nest site. Other members live for only a few months. The honeybee queen and her offspring live in the hive year round. The queen may survive for three or more years. COLONY, OR NEST, LOCATION Bumblebees typically make their nest underground, but some species will nest above ground. Honeybees typically make their nest above ground in sheltered locations. NEST POPULATION SIZE Bumblebee colonies are much smaller with a normal population of less than a few hundred individuals. Honeybee nests may number into the tens of thousands. HONEY PRODUCTION. While both produce honey, bumblebees do not produce a surplus of honey like honeybees. Therefore, beekeepers do not collect bumblebee honey for consumption.

It seems you really are what you eat - if you're a bee. Queen bees live 40 times longer than their workers thanks to a miraculous nutrient in the milky liquid that makes up their whole diet. Their eating habits mean they become almost twice the size and more than double the weight of other female bees, despite having no genetic advantage. The active ingredient of royal jelly, the chemical brew produced from pollen and secreted from glands on the top of young nurse bees’ heads, also helps them become 42 per cent larger and weigh 60 per cent more than the rest. we also have some products with royal jelly!!

Honey in wound care Author: Vanessa Ngan, staff writer Introduction For centuries now honey has been used as an effective remedy for wounds, burns and ulcers. In recent years there has been renewed interest in the medicinal properties of honey. Much of this research is being carried out by a team of people working at the Waikato Honey Research Unit, New Zealand. How does honey work to treat infections? There are many features in the composition of honey that together combine to give it its antimicrobial properties. Feature Antimicrobial action High osmolality Honey is a saturated or supersaturated solution of sugars that has strong interaction with water molecules. The lack of ‘free’ water inhibits the growth of microorganisms. Hydrogen peroxide When honey is diluted by wound exudates, hydrogen peroxide is produced via a glucose oxidase enzyme reaction. This is released slowly to provide antibacterial activity but does not damage tissue. Antibacterial phytochemicals Some honeys still have antimicrobial activity even when hydrogen peroxide activity has been removed. The honey from Manuka trees (Leptospermum scoparium) has been found to have high levels of this antibacterial phytochemical. In addition to its antimicrobial properties, honey also appears to stimulate lymphocytic and phagocytic activity. These are key body immune responses in the battle against infection. What is honey used to treat? Honey is most commonly used as a topical antibacterial agent to treat infections in a wide range of wound types. These include: Leg ulcers Pressure ulcers Diabetic foot ulcers Infected wound resulting from injury or surgery Burns In most cases, honey is used when conventional antibacterial treatment with antibiotics and antiseptics are ineffective. Numerous studies have shown that these difficult-to-heal wounds respond well to honey dressings. Inflammation, swelling and pain rapidly subside, unpleasant odours stop, debridement is enhanced as the honey dressings remove dead tissue painlessly and without causing damage to the regrowing cells. Honey promotes rapid healing with minimal scarring. Honey can also be used as first aid treatment for burns as it has potent anti-inflammatory activity. What honey to use? For centuries it has been known that different types of honey exhibit differences in antibacterial activity. In recent years, honey from different sources have been studied and a few have been identified as having particularly high antibacterial activity. Manuka honey gathered from the manuka tree Leptospermum scoparium, native to New Zealand, has exceptionally high antibacterial activity, with about half of this type of honey having high levels of non-peroxide activity (ie: high levels of antibacterial phytochemical activity present). It is important for honey to have this additional non-peroxide antibacterial component as factors such as acidity, catalase and protein-digesting enzymes in wound fluids all work towards reducing the hydrogen peroxide antibacterial effectiveness. For the treatment of infected wounds, it is important that a sterilised, laboratory-tested honey for medicinal purposes is used. Honey produced from manuka trees is tested for antibacterial activity and given a potency rating called a UMF (Unique Manuka Factor). The higher the UMF rating, the greater the level of antibacterial activity. Medical professionals in New Zealand use active manuka honey with a rating of UMF 10 or higher. UMF graded honey is also sterilised by gamma irradiation without loss of any antibacterial activity. How to use honey on wounds All difficult to heal wounds should be seen by your doctor. The following are general tips on how honey may be used for wound care. The amount of honey used depends on the amount of fluid exuding from the wound. Large amounts of exudate require substantial amounts of honey to be applied. The frequency of dressing changes depends on how rapidly the honey is being diluted by the exudate. This should become less frequent as the honey starts to work on healing the wound. Occlusive dressings help to prevent honey oozing out from the wound. It is best to spread the honey on a dressing and apply this to the wound than apply the honey directly onto the wound. Dressing pads pre-impregnated with honey are commercially available and provide an effective and less messy alternative. Abscesses, cavity or deep wounds need more honey to adequately penetrate deep into the wound tissues. The wound bed should be filled with honey before applying the honey dressing pad.

Having trouble falling asleep? Fall asleep faster with honey. A fast-acting and beneficial sleeping solution. We all know that honey can be as effective in treating coughs as over-the-counter commercial cough syrup, but studies have shown that it can also improve quality of sleep as well. According to Dr. Ron Fessenden, who researched claims that honey improves sleep quality on his blog, raw honey contains “an ideal ratio of fructose to glucose,” to support the liver, an organ that works non-stop, during the sleeping process. Here’s more details on how taking one or two teaspoons of raw honey before bedtime can help you sleep better. Honey Promotes Sleep In Two Ways 1. Keeps Liver Full First, it ensures an adequate supply of liver glycogen for the night fast. The average adult liver can store only about 75 to 100 grams of glycogen, with differences between men and women and according to body size. The body will consume about 10 grams of glycogen per hour (6.5 grams by the brain and 3.5 grams by the heart, kidneys, and red blood cells). When one eats dinner at 6:00 pm and goes to bed at 11:00 pm, the body will have utilized up to half of the liver’s supply of glycogen, leaving less than needed for eight hours of rest. Eating honey before bedtime re-stocks the liver with glycogen and ensures getting through the night before the brain triggers a crisis search for fuel, which would normally wake you up. honey promotes sleep 2. Release of Sleeping Hormone Second, honey facilitates restorative sleep by contributing to the release of melatonin in the brain. Honey triggers a small spike in insulin levels, and insulin stimulates the release of tryptophan in the brain. Tryptophan is converted to serotonin, which is then converted to melatonin. Melatonin in return inhibits the release of insulin, thus further stabilizing blood sugar levels during the night. Melatonin is necessary for restorative sleep. Often called the “wellness hormone,” it helps to enhance immunity and facilitate the rebuilding of tissues during rest. Not only will it help you fall asleep faster but it also heals you quicker and revitalizes you for the next day. Not many sleeping solution products can claim they are organically beneficial for you. Other Benefits Of Honey Honey’s benefits don’t begin and end with sleep, however; here are some of the natural benefits of raw, organic honey: It is a natural anti-bacterial agent with significant wound-healing properties, historically used in emergency medicine for its ability to fight infection. Often used in organic shampoos and soaps, honey has been proven to effectively fight inflammatory acne. Honey is a novel antidiabetic agent, reducing blood glucose levels and generally being more easily tolerated than other sugars. A natural antimicrobial, honey has shown significant potential in dealing with drug-resistant bacteria, and possibly even reversing antibiotic resistance. Making Honey Part Of Your Diet A review of multiple studies suggests that when taken in significant amounts, honey has a whole host of health benefits – all the more reason to make it part of your daily diet, especially as a sugar substitute. Getting honey from the source can be another challenge; while honey is easy enough to find at your local supermarket, it doesn’t always come from sustainable sources, which can be a real problem with so many bee populations currently threatened by Colony Collapse Disorder. To find local, sustainable sources of honey and support your local pollinator populations, try using this online honey locator tool to find apiaries that sell organic raw honey near you.

Medical uses Wounds and burns Honey contains trace amount of compounds implicated in preliminary studies to have wound healing properties, such as hydrogen peroxide and methylglyoxal. There is some evidence that honey may help healing in skin wounds after surgery and mild (partial thickness) burns when used in a dressing, but in general the evidence for the use of honey in wound treatment is of such low quality that firm conclusions cannot be drawn. Evidence does not support the use of honey-based products in the treatment of venous stasis ulcers or ingrowing toenail. There is ongoing research into medical uses for honey, particularly in the face of antimicrobial resistance to modern antibiotics. Cough For chronic cough and acute cough, a Cochrane review found no strong evidence for or against the use of honey. For treating children, the study concluded that honey possibly helps more than no treatment. The UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency recommends avoiding giving over the counter cough and common cold medication to children under 6, and suggests "a homemade remedy containing honey and lemon is likely to be just as useful and safer to take", but warns that honey should not be given to babies because of the risk of infant botulism. The World Health Organization recommends honey as a treatment for coughs and sore throats, including for children, stating that there is no reason to believe it is less effective than a commercial remedy. Honey is recommended by one Canadian physician for children over the age of 1 for the treatment of coughs as it is deemed as effective as dextromethorphan and more effective than diphenhydramine. No evidence shows the benefit of using honey to treat cancer, although honey may be useful for controlling side effects of radiation therapy or chemotherapy applied in cancer treatment. Consumption is sometimes advocated as a treatment for seasonal allergies due to pollen, but there is inconclusive scientific evidence to support the claim. Honey is generally considered ineffective for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis. Preliminary studies found honey to contain an antimicrobial peptide called bee defensin-1. Some in vitro studies show that honey can kill Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), β-haemolytic streptococci and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci.

The Sweet Emotional Life of Bees. Trilobites By JAMES GORMAN SEPT. 29, 2016 It is hard enough to figure out emotions in humans — but insects? Nonetheless, as far back as Darwin, scientists have suggested that insects have something like emotional states, and researchers continue, despite the difficulties, to try to pin those states down. The latest contribution suggests that a sweet treat can change the way bumblebees make decisions, producing something akin — although perhaps distantly related — to optimism. It’s like the way a chocolate bar might affect a human being, in terms of actions, if not subjective feelings. Just to be clear, the scientists who did the experiment are not saying sugar makes the bees feel happy the way people might after eating something sweet. But a treat can change a bee’s brain state so that it is quicker to pursue a reward and to recover from a scare than it would be without a sugar boost. Whether bees have some subjective experience of a positive feeling, the way a human might, remains an unanswered question. Some recent research argued that the structure of bee brains could allow for some subjective experience. That could be something as simple as a physical sensation, however, not something as general and elusive as, “I feel good!” Clint Perry, a research fellow at Queen Mary University of London, who studied the bees with his colleagues, reported the results Thursday in the journal Science. Other researchers have found something like pessimism in bees, something like anxiety in crayfish, and a defensive state that bears some relation tofear in fruit flies. Dr. Perry decided to look on the sunny side of the street, and targeted a positive emotional state. He worked with Luigi Baciadonna, a graduate student, and Lars Chittka, the head of the Bee Sensory and Behavioural Lab at the university. The team trained bees to fly to a portal marked by a color, like blue, to get a reward. Another portal, with a different color, like green, would have only water. Then they gave some bees a small sugar water treat just before they were released into the reward chamber and others nothing. This time there was a portal with a color that was ambiguous, like purple. The bees who had the treat were quicker to go to a door that had an ambiguous color than the bees who didn’t get the treat. The researchers also tried simulating an attack on the bees before they released them, using a mechanism to grab and hold them briefly the way a crab spider might in an unsuccessful attack. The bees who got the sugar recovered more quickly. They also tried blocking the effect of brain chemicals they thought might be involved in the positive state, like dopamine. When dopamine was blocked, the sugar treat had no effect. So, call it what you will, but a positive brain state appeared to bias the bees’ decision-making. Daniel Cattaert, at the University of Bordeaux, who did the research on anxiety in crayfish, said he thought the study was “very well-constructed.” He was particularly impressed, he said, because it dovetailed with a previous experiment on honey bees in which shaking them before a similar test produced a kind of negative state, something like pessimism. David Anderson at the California Institute of Technology, who did the work on fruit flies and has argued that what he calls “emotion primitives” in insects are more like the evolutionary building blocks of emotion than what mammals may experience, said he did not think the findings were definitive. There could be other explanations for the results, he said, like confusion caused by a sugar jolt, or interference with memory by dopamine-blocking drugs.
