Things Worth Noting
Beekeeping may boost longevity by supporting telomere length, which protects DNA and slows aging. Research shows beekeepers have longer telomeres, possibly due to a healthy lifestyle. Handling hives offers physical activity, while nature reduces stress, both preserving telomeres. Bee products like honey, propolis, and royal jelly provide antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, fighting oxidative stress. Beehive […]
Honey never expires due to its unique properties. With only 17-18% water, it’s hygroscopic, pulling moisture from bacteria and yeast via osmosis, killing them. Its low pH (3.2-4.5) and high sugar content create an acidic, hostile environment for microorganisms. Enzymes from bees, like glucose oxidase, produce hydrogen peroxide, boosting its antibacterial power. Archeology proves this—honey […]
