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

Anglers
November 2, 2014
We are now in the peak Fall Season, normally a very bustling period for the
Los Cabos area. This year the situation is much different, as many Resorts
are still in the rebuilding stage and combined with changing airline
schedules, has contributed to below normal capacity level crowds of
tourists, as try to find available flights and accommodations. By the
coming New Year we do expect to see many more resorts reopening their doors
to tourists. For the time being we are seeing more visitors arrive, just
not like we would normally expect to see.
The climate has been absolutely ideal, clear skies, slight chill early in
the morning, warming up quickly to 90 degrees later in the day. Only a
couple of days of north winds, mostly calm ocean conditions with minimal
swell activity for anglers. Water temperatures are still averaging in the
mid 80s. Clear blue water is found close to shore now, most fishing
activity has been taking place within 2 to 8 miles from shore.
Sardinas became more scattered from where they had been school in the
Puerto Los Cabos Marina jetty area, heavy pressure from the Bisbee
tournament seems to hurt local bait supplies, teams pay big money to local
pangeros to fill large ice chests with bait for chumming, this is a marlin
tournament, why are so many sardinas needed, apparently to chum up more
skipjack or smaller yellowfin to be used as baitfish for the billfish, it
just seems there should be some control on this, sustainable bait
populations are very fragile these days. Surely the upcoming WON Tuna
Jackpot will put even more negative pressure on this local bait resource.
Dorado became more scarce this past week, we heard of more dorado being
found on the Pacific fishing grounds, compared to in the direction of San
Jose del Cabo. Wahoo were consistently being found in schools on the normal
grounds north of Punta Gorda. Anglers were finding many opportunities at
hooking into these speedsters, having five, six or seven strikes per
morning was not uncommon. Strikes are coming on trolled Rapalas, skirted
lead heads and slow trolling trap-hooked chihuil.Most of the wahoo being
accounted for weighed in the 15 to 30 lb. class, though there were some
fish up to 45 lb. landed.
Yellowfin tuna were a main targeted species on the La Fortuna to Iman
Banks, the tuna schooling here were striking on sardinas, these fish were
mixed with a variety of aggressive skipjack, weighing to 20 pounds, average
catches ranged from 1 to 5 yellwofin per charter, many more skipjack than
tuna were being hooked into. The chance of hooking into the larger cows
sized yellowfin tuna still was concentrated around the Gordo Banks,
yellowfin in the 50 to 300 pounds are holding on these grounds, though
getting them to bite has been another story, everyday there are reports of
maybe one or two nice fish being hooked into. This past week we weighed one
tuna of 204 pounds in, one fish weighing close to 300 lb. was taken last
Sunday, other large fish were lost and yellowfin tuna of 80 to 100 lb. were
reported by anglers that were on scouting trips for next weeks Tuna
Jackpot, surely this years event will have some very stiff competition.
Billfish action was spread out, though a few more blacks and blues were
hooked in this past week, weighing up to 300 pounds plus. It is the time of
year where an offshore grand slam could happen, there are sailfish,
striped, blue and black marlin now in local waters. Not much found off the
bottom recently, most anglers are now targeting surface species.
Local La Playita panga fleets are back operating out of the panga basin of
Puerto Local Cabo Marina, this particular area sustained heavy disastrous
damage from Hurricane Odile. Work conditions continue to prove extremely
challenging. Rebuilding progress for this facility is now frustratingly at
a standstill, not even simple conveniences such as fresh running water,
bathroom facilities, suitable parking, electricity for any form of
lighting, or even an accessible boat ramp for making needed maintenance
schedules, the only usable marina ramp now has a chain in place and fleet
owners are required to pay high fees for the privilege of using it, the
list could go on. These are simple conveniences which could all be
addressed in timely fasion, though Marina Management has other priorities,
no effort or expense has gone towards helping this panga area. Locals seem
to be on their own in tackling the rebuilding undertaking. Waiting for
Governmental help, funding for the necessary specialized equipment, appears
to be on a long road ahead.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 70 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of: 4 sailfish, 2 blue marlin, 3 black marlin, 3
striped marlin, 78 wahoo, 82 yellowfin tuna, 9 dorado, 10 rainbow runners,
24 bonito, 320 skipjack, 14 cabrilla, 8 barred pargo and 20 triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
