Born in Brazil in the early 1900s, he spent most of his life in the U.S., guided by his father’s advice: “You are what you eat.” His diet focused on organic foods, fruits, and vegetables, […]
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 […]

Long answer The decline in bee populations, often referred to as colony collapse disorder (CCD), is a complex issue with multiple contributing factors: To address the issue of declining bee populations, conservation efforts focus on creating pollinator-friendly […]
