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 Fish Report
March 16-22, 2009
WEATHER: There was no rain this week although a few mornings felt as though some rain could happen. What made the week different was the onset of our springtime winds. It actually started the week before but now we are seeing the normal three or four days of wind then three or four days of calm. There is no predicting it but at least there is usually a calm day sometime during the week. Our daytime highs were in the low 90s and high 80s while the nighttime lows were in the high to mid 60s.
WATER: On the Pacific side the water close to the beach remained cool at 65-67 degrees. Out across the San Jaime Bank and the Golden Gate Bank the water was 69-70 degrees. The 75-degree water was pushed farther away to the south by the strong currents and now lays 20 miles out. On the Cortez side of the Cape the water is decently warm at an average of 75 degrees north of the 1150 spot. Surface conditions on the Pacific remained choppy due to the strong winds that blow for a few days but has still been fishable. The Cortez side has been much better with small swells and light wind effects. The water throughout the area has been a bit off-color this past week with greener water than last week.
BAIT: There was a mix of Mackerel and Caballito available this week at the normal price of $3 per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: We may have seen the last of the red-hot Striped Marlin bite for this season as the fishy have moved off of the Golden Gate Bank along with the bait that was holding there. With the bite having have lasted since last November it is surprising that it lasted as long as it did. Now we are most likely going to be doing the normal fishing, casting live bait in front of tailing fish as they move through the area. A good day this past week would have been a five fish day; the average seemed to be one or two releases. With the water cooling down and turning a bit green, we might start to see a few Swordfish soon, but they have not appeared yet.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Yet again another poor week for Yellowfin Tuna with only a few fish being caught. There were plenty of Bonito to be hooked up, and in those schools Yellowfin were reported as well, but they just would not bite. The presence of red crab in the area made having something in a red or dark orange color very important in lure selection, and those colors did much better than others on the few fish that were caught.
DORADO: There were some Dorado to be found in the warmer waters on the Cortez side of the Cape this past week. The waters just offshore of the Westin and at the Inman Bank held fish that were not large, but there were some decent numbers. With an average size of 12 pounds, smaller live bait such as large Sardinas worked well. Offshore just a few miles there were larger fish to 40 pounds, but they were few and far between.
WAHOO: I did not hear of any Wahoo being caught this week.
INSHORE: Sierra and Yellowtail continued to dominate the inshore action this week. While not large, the Sierra were in great numbers once the schools were found. There was great action just outside the beach on the Pacific side at Pueblo Bonita Sunset resort and on the Cortez side outside the Cabo Del Sol Golf Course. Most boats were able to get limits for their anglers using Sardinas as live bait, but blue/silver swimming plugs and hootchies did well also. There were not great numbers of Yellowtail found this week, but they were showing up in the fish boxes of the Pangas. Most of them were firecracker fish in the 8-10 pound class, but there were a few nice fish to 25 pounds and an occasional fish that could not be stopped. Added to the mix of fish caught were the occasional Pargo and Amberjack as well as some small Roosterfish.
NOTES: The Whales are starting to move north and we are seeing fewer every week. Fishing inshore was where the action was this week but there were some days when the Bonito averaged 15 pounds and provided a good fight on the right gear when fishing offshore. This weeks report was written to the music of pianist Marcus Roberts on his 1990 BMG release Deep In The Shed. Until next week, tight lines!
