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

EAST CAPE, MAGDALENA BAY, ZIHUATANEJO, MEXICO; AND SAN JOSE, GUATEMALA CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL:
Wed. (6/19) I went beach fishing and had my best day yet. It was great! I only wish Lance [Peterson] had been there. I hooked five roosters and landed two, including my biggest to date. I'm guessing it was around 35-40\\ pounds based on the fish we were able to weigh on the Boga grip. It was 49-inches long. It took the Chivo Lisa, (Photo follows.) http://www.bajafly.com/Beachfly.htm
Peter Shulman, Denver, and his party made it up from Cabo. They were a fun bunch and we had a good time. One of the couples had never even fished before, let alone fly-fished. They had beginners luck as usual landing a rooster, an amberjack, and some good sized bonito. Its always fun to watch first-timers handle their first saltwater fish on the fly.

OFFSHORE: Finally, when you get on the boat the question can be posed honestly, What do you want to fish for today? Marlin both to the north and south, a better than decent tuna snap and even the dorado have shown up.
INSHORE: This has been the mainstay for the past several weeks, and now there are choices. If you are looking for variety you have found it.
BEACH: Great, dont confuse the word great with easy, but put your time in and take your shots and you may get the fish of a lifetime.
BILLFISH Onward and upward, heating up nicely.
YELLOWFIN TUNA Just in time. The hotels fill up and Charley shows up on cue.
DORADO Here is your golden opportunity to get your string pulled . . . a lot
ROOSTERFISH\\ JACK CREVALLE From chickie size to Bubba. Shhhh, you can even hear them slamming the bait schools early in the morning.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK Great starter for beginners to get the hang of it.
PARGO AND CABRILLA Rock on! Try the rocky points or the arroyos.
SIERRA Grab . . . strip strike, no fly . . . they are still here.
MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Puerto San Carlos:
IN GENERAL: Light pressure from the recreational anglers this week. Most of the action was centered around the Devils Curve area and Los Barriles Estero. Fishing on an outgoing tide with Baja Deep Diver produced mixed results with a few smaller variety snook, a few leopard grouper and, of course, lots of spotted bay bass.

YELLOWTAIL The entrada (entrance) is the best bet, however no one seemed to be interested in making the 20 mile run to check it out.
CORVINA Poppers and white deceivers kept them coming.
SNOOK Should begin to see some of the larger ones as the water warms up.
HALIBUT You can always find a few in shallow water along the sandy beaches.
SIERRA Only a rumor this week.
ZIHUATANEJO, MAINLAND MEXICO
IN GENERAL: The IGFA announced this week that our Jacks or Better Roosterfish-on-the-Fly tournament will be one of the qualifying events and the winner will be invited to compete in their Inshore Championship in April, 2005. http://igfa.org/tournaments/event-display.cfm?eveid=441 Dont miss out on the first ever Rooster-on-the Fly event in Zihuatanejo. http://www.bajafly.com/jacksorbetter.htm
The 78 blue water remains at 12 miles and the blue marlin bite is still strong. Each day about 1 in every 4 boats is getting a shot at a marlin. When you consider they are not targeting marlin, but rather pulling smaller baits for the sailfish, those are fairly decent numbers. The sailfish action is holding steady at about two fish per boat per day.
The inshore action has really taken off. While guiding Baja on the Fly fishing client Steve Walser of Soulsbyville, Calif., (Note: Soulsbyville is a mountain town in the California Gold Country in case you didnt recognize it) he was hooking a fish about every 5 minutes. We were fishing the near point at the White Rocks and in the mixed bag were black skipjack tuna, jack crevalle, and rainbow runners.

Baja on the Fly's Zihuatanejo report by Ed Kunze
SAN JOSE, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: The action has been good this last week with boats able to average 17 of 27 releases on sails. The high boat went 27 of 39 on sails. Marlins continue to show up each week behind the boats, and there have been some large dorado. Overall, the weather has been nice, but while rain showers are becoming more common, they have not disrupted the ability to get out.
