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) ‼ï¸
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

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
December 15, 2013
Anglers –
Crowds of tourists were noticeably fewer this past week, with less than two
weeks to go until Christmas, people are now occupied with preparations and
other priorities. As much of Northern America has been enduring icy
conditions, the climate in Southern Baja has been comfortable, mostly sunny
skies with highs of 80 degrees. Northern winds increased in recent days and
this made for choppy ocean conditions, though water temperatures are still
averaged a bit warmer than normal at 76/78 degrees throughout the region.
We do expect currents to cool more rapidly now, as this is the month with
the shortest days of the year. More and more whales are now arriving from
the north, these mammals will be in this area for the next several months.
Supplies of bait consisted of caballito, ballyhoo, squid slabs and some
skipjack and chihuil offshore. Sardinas became scarce again as the north
winds made this a difficult task, limiting the range of the commercial
fleet. Sardinas have been very scattered this fall, when found have been
juvenile sized, a combination of factors contributing to this situation.
Fishing was spread out in all directions, inshore, offshore and some bottom
action, a lot depended on ocean conditions and available bait source, as to
where anglers targeted on a given day. Catches ranged from a couple fish
per boat, to over a dozen of combined species. There is a wide variety of
fish now in the area, though most of them were caught in limited numbers.
We have seen striped marlin, dorado, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, skipjack,
bonito, amberjack, yellowtail, cabrilla, pargo, sierra, roosterfish,
triggerfish and others.
We are seeing more commercial tuna pens being moved north offshore of San
Jose del Cabo, being towed at 1 or 2 mph, from 10 to 20 miles offshore.
Charters boats at times were fishing in proximity of these pens and were
finding good numbers of small 4 to 8 lb. yellowfin tuna and a few dorado,
mostly a long boat ride for smaller sized fish. The new trend of hauling
tuna pens filled with bluefin tuna from north Baja grounds into the Sea of
Cortez is causing some concern, because this will only increase the already
heavy pressure on the local bait resources, because these penned tuna
require tons of fresh bait. Same deal that has happened in Northern Baja,
discussion is that perhaps they are relocating these pens because the
bluefin are able to grow faster and with lengthier proportions in warmer
water.
Besides finding some small tuna action while fishing near these slow moving
tuna pens, anglers were not finding yellowfin elsewhere, the action on the
Iman Bank became fruitless due to northern winds. The exception was on
Thursday, when a few larger yellowfin tuna were hooked into on the Gordo
Banks, the prize was a 277 lb. yellowfin tuna that was landed by Bob Deeter
of Fort Brag, Ca. Deeter was drift fishing with a chunk of skipjack when he
hooked into the early Christmas gift. Last weekend during a local
tournament these were a pair of tuna over 100 pounds taken, 107 lb. and 130
lb., though for the past two weeks, no one had reported any big yellowfin
action, getting late in the season now, though there definitely still is a
chance, maybe someone will pull out another 300 lb. cow before the end of
the month.
Anglers are now starting to make more attempts off the bottom structure
when weather allowed, no big numbers of fish found, though a few nice
amberjack, pargo, yellowtail and cabrilla were accounted for, it is the
time of year where we will start doing more of this type of drift fishing
over shallow water rocky areas, this can produce a variety of quality
bottom dwellers, though it is also the type of fishing where it is best
when the seas are not too rough.
Schools of sierra are now found close to shore, striking trolled rapalas
and hoochies, though easier to entice with sardinas, which have not been
available on a regular basis. Lots of roosterfish also found in certain
inshore areas, mostly juvenile sized this time of year, though a few
roosters over 20 pounds were reported.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 72 charters for this past week, with anglers
accounting for a fish count of: 2 striped marlin, 9 wahoo, 24 bonito, 13
cabrilla, 2 yellowtail, 8 amberjack, 1 dogtooth snapper,115 sierra, 55
roosterfish, 65 dorado, 80 skipjack and 88 yellowfin tuna.
Good fishing, Eric
