22.01.2022 Have you got an African tulip tree (Spathodea campanulata) in your backyard? This fast growing evergreen tree can infest gullies and rainforests where it out-c...ompetes native vegetation. Its flowers are toxic to native stingless bees. You can help by removing African tulip tree from your garden by hand-pulling or digging out young African tulip trees when the soil is moist. Stumps of felled trees need to be treated with herbicide due to their ability to sucker. You can find out more here: https://bit.ly/2NR4RRN
20.01.2022 Why Does Honey Crystallise? It is a common occurrence in household pantries. It’s probably winter, and the jar of honey that once contained molten golden honey ...has suddenly changed and become whiteish and semi-solid. This crystallisation is normal, but is usually met by distaste, as the honey-owner feels that their jar of delicious syrupy joy has suddenly spoiled. However, this process is natural, as real raw honey does crystallise. In fact, it reflects your honey is natural and good quality. In nature, honey often crystallises, or sets, in the comb. It is a spontaneous and completely natural process that sees unheated honey become more solid, change colour and form crystals. The process is not always uniform, and sometimes the crystals will form on the top section of the honey jar, while the bottom part remains liquid. Some crystals are large and gritty, while some others are fine. So, how does this occur? Honey is a supersaturated solution of three sugars: glucose and fructose and a small amount of sucrose. This natural phenomenon occurs when glucoseone of three main sugars in honeyspontaneously precipitates out of the honey solution. The glucose loses water (becoming glucose monohydrate) and takes the form of a crystal (a solid body with an orderly structure). The crystals make a lattice formation which immobilises other components of honey in a suspended structure, creating the semi-solid crystal state. The faster honey crystallises, the finer the texture will be, and as it forms crystals, the colour of the honey lightens. Despite this looking strange, there is actually no effect on the honey itself; it will still taste the same and has not deteriorated in quality in any way. Actually, this process works in the opposite way, preserving the flavour and quality of the product. As the taste becomes richer in this form, and the substance’s higher viscosity means it is easier to spread, crystallised honey is sometimes preferred by consumers, and asked for in certain recipes. It is the perfect consistency to spread on toast or sandwiches! However, if you want to reverse your honey back to its original liquid form, the honey jar can be placed in a pot of warm water and heated to a low heat until liquid again. Alternatively, the jar can just be left in a bowl of hot water for a long period of time, not on the stove element. A quick blast in the microwave for a couple 15 second intervals can also help reverse the crystal forms. Despite this returning your honey to the way it was originally, honey will re-crystallise if not used quickly. Do not despair or throw your honey away as this is when honey is (debatably) at its best and most flavoursome. See more

13.01.2022 The crystallization of honey is little understood by the consuming public. Many assume that crystallized honey is adulterated or spoiled. This is not so. Real, raw honey crystallizes. The crystallization process is natural and spontaneous. Pure, raw and unheated honey has a natural tendency to crystallize over time with no effect on the honey other than color and texture.... Whats more, the crystallization of honey actually preserves the flavor and quality characteristics of your honey. Many honey users prefer it in this state as it is easier to spread on bread or toast. Indeed, some raw honey recipes can be easier to make with partially or fully-crystallized honey and, the taste is richer. Some honeys crystallize uniformly; some will be partially crystallized and form two layers, with the crystallized layer on the bottom of the jar and a liquid on top.

12.01.2022 The bees have been declared the most important living beings on this planet, the Earthwatch Institute concluded in the last meeting of the Royal Geographical So...ciety of London. However, according to wildlife experts and scientists, the bees have joined the endangered species long list. The recent studies show a dramatic decline of the bees number as almost 90% of the their population disappeared in the last few years. The uncontrolled use of pesticides, deforestation or lack of flowers are the main reasons of their extinction. However, why would such a little being be named the most important creature on Earth. 70 % of the worlds agriculture depends exclusively on bees. Needless to mention the pollination is the bees job, although the plants would not be able to reproduce, therefore the fauna would have been gone in a very short time. photo @king_parrot_honey https://www.sciencetimes.com//bees-are-the-most-important-
