Get your own bees, tanel. It's a worthwhile hobby.
would love to do so some day
nostr:npub1gsyvqrq7jdvvqkk3rklz6wsaft9cc2md6cuxun3a48s5hvrd7s4sgeqd9m add it to the list of that farm idea
Iβve always heard the best honey is local honey? For health reasons, preventing sensitivity to allergens in your environment and stuff like that? π€·
there is this: https://sweetsats.io/
don't recognise the weighing units, gonna need a converter
also would love some product photos, would make the site look way more legit
For quick reference 32oz is 1 litre
how much even is a litre of honey
uhh, brb
Raw honey?
what's the other option?
Pasteurized
educate me ser on the difference
i don't know what pasteurized really means, i've heard it a hundred times
and what does it mean in terms of honey
Heated to the point where microorganisms are killed, but not boiled.
sooo, is that a good or a bad thing?
Like anything it has tradeoffs. Longer shelf life, less likely to spoil. But it may also remove beneficial nutrients too.
Raw is natural, just strained. Pasteurized or processed honey can have additives, they heat it up to kill bacteria but it also reduces the antioxidants and nutrients in natural honey. Pasteurization also "improves" the appearance and shelf life. For stores... Raw honey is the way to go. Many processed or pasteurized honeys have extra things added that you don't want or Artificial flavoring.
speaking of honey maxis
Not only honey, my kids eat that more than we adults, but I'm into propolis lately. My go-to thing for any eczema and similar problems, older cub has fermented propolis as tiny treat every day.
Just realized I'm a bear
i don't think i know what that even is
It's next to honey, bees build honeycombs with this (and bee wax, which is different thing, but this is seriously not my area of knowledge). It's applied in mere drops as some tincture or eaten, my mum used it even for her inside nose, when she started losing smell during solid covid fever. She insists this thing saved her smellπ€·π»ββοΈ
I wonder if it would help psoriasis?
Oh my, I wish I could help you with that. But I checked pictures and it actually looks like worse version of what my 4yo had on his butt recently. It spreaded quite quickly, rough to the touch and then started turning red. After few unsuccessful attempts with zinc creme and whatever, I started using propolis in alcohol, bought small flask not long before. He was unhappy, said it burns, although it looked dry with no open skin. It helped for that within two weeks. Try it, but that alcohol is savage on skin.
If you wanted I can buy it tomorrow, I'm currently next to the beekeeper I'm buying all this stuff from.
Good maple syrup is awesome too
never had any maple syrup

Tanel, where on earth do you live? ππ€
it's 7:15 PM here, i'll tell you that much π
it's not a thing here, i've always had pancakes with homemade jams that either my mum or either of grandmas make
nostr:npub1lrnvvs6z78s9yjqxxr38uyqkmn34lsaxznnqgd877j4z2qej3j5s09qnw5 have a lovely morning
I love maple syrup. It is thinner and maybe sweeter than honey. I also love sorghum syrup, which is thick as tar and just as black, and oh so delicious.
Is it just because of the taste? I recently heard honey might have great health benefits
nostr:npub16eumpaxffppswucpeysysrya9uk39j06d5gr2tsnf6cupq3f4jdqyft6jc as some have mentioned!
But there are more:
nostr:npub1sweetl0gskmka0n5qevt7v2wj9q56ntwkmaeywffw4ftaucmcakquhns6h
nostr:npub1tmtg0uuyn6l2uelwl4gu5d0u2ljkxpnl85f0s7wzggfdt4xvv95s8kmcx4
Wonderful, a good list to have. And all this time I just thought nostr:npub16eumpaxffppswucpeysysrya9uk39j06d5gr2tsnf6cupq3f4jdqyft6jc likes bees, didnβt realize was keeping bees π IRL, bravo!
and nostr:npub1sweetl0gskmka0n5qevt7v2wj9q56ntwkmaeywffw4ftaucmcakquhns6h nice mined npub! π π π
And a propolis infused honey seller, thatβs gold. nostr:npub1tmtg0uuyn6l2uelwl4gu5d0u2ljkxpnl85f0s7wzggfdt4xvv95s8kmcx4 do you have a shop or market in VA or only online?
