According to Einstein said that if the bee disappeared off the planet to man would have only four years of life. Why? Because there are no bees in pollination consecuancia fewer plants, fewer insects without these, fewer animals and less life.
My father was a beekeeper in his spare time, so for this reason we had beehives in the garden. When harvesting honey, placed on the kitchen sink something like a table full of wax that were filled with honey! If you could you robabas a piece and you put him in the mouth if chewed wax came out all the honey, was a natural gum groups, was the most delicious in the world. Thanks to this hobby of my dad, well aware at an early age how important it was the conservation of these animals. If one went out the window of the dining room while we ate was terminated forbidden to give them a slap, we had to stay very still until they were gone, or perched on some glass of juice.
I think I deviate a bit from the topic because what came was to tell the countless benefits this delicacy, raw honey . This not only has the benefits of pasteurized honey (honey is common for most known and consumed), but also contains propolis and pollen, almost a full post would need to discuss each of the benefits of these ¨ ingredients ¨ by so to speak but I can summarize that unpasteurized or raw honey has the following benefits (maybe more):
- Contains caffeato caffeic acid methyl, phenylethyl caffeato , phenylethyl dimethilcafeato, hopefully 've written, the point is that these substances help prevent colon cancer and that inhibit the carcinogenic activity of certain enzymes.
- Strengthens the immune system.
