24.01.2022 This week's Health-e-Byte Can honey curb the common cold? Bring me some honey, Honey!... If you catch a common cold, swap your antibiotics and cough suppressant medications for honey! Antibiotics are of no use in treating colds because most colds are due to viral infections. The good news is that University of Oxford researchers have confirmed that honey can relieve symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs). Is there a particular type of honey that works best? All forms of honey have antibacterial and antiviral properties because they contain chemicals that produce hydrogen peroxide. Some types of honey may be more effective than others but the researchers found that all types of honey were beneficial particularly raw honey and manuka honey. Manuka honey is special because it contains an additional bacteria-killing compound called methylglyoxal. What is raw honey? Raw honey is honey that has not been heated, pasteurised or processed in any way, hence it retains more nutrients than honey that has been treated. What dose of honey do we need? Two teaspoons of honey at bedtime (10mL) reduce cough and improve sleep. When compared with a common cough-suppressant called dextromethorphan, honey was shown to be equally effective. Is it best to have honey ‘straight’ or added to warm lemon water or tea? Straight or mixed with a warm drink works equally well whichever you prefer. But isn’t honey just another form of sugar?

15.01.2022 THIS IS WHATS HAPPENING IN AMERICA. Mosquito spraying decimates honey bees In the sunny and tranquil village of Islamorada in the Florida Keys, beekeeper Jamie Hulet was caught off guard by a spray of pesticide. She writes: We had a mosquito plane fly overhead this morning around 0700 and the chemicals they released killed thousands of bees. I have four Langstroth hives and all of them have piles of dead bees around them, as well as all over my property.... Every year I hear stories like this, often from southern states that have problems with mosquitoes. But other states also have issues, especially in agricultural areas. What’s a beekeeper to do? Fair warning There seems to be a lot of variability in how much notice you get about sprayingif anyand how the word is spreadif at all. Here where I live, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources manages the Capitol State Forest and other lands. Over the years they have worked with us on several occasions, and we regularly get written announcements of management activities such as spraying and controlled burns. I consider our DNR to be an exceptionally good neighbor. Many years ago when I lived in San Diego County (before Internet), spraying schedules were published in local newspapers. I don’t know how it’s done now, but back then I appreciated the updates. Even if you happened to miss the article, there was enough lead time that word spread. However, not all jurisdictions are so courteous. Jamie was not aware there was a contact list for the Keys, so she had no notice and her bees paid the ultimate price. Once she discovered who to contact, she was told they only give about 12 hours notice. How much notice is necessary? The way I see it, if you tell me at 7 am that my property will be sprayed at 7 pm, there is little I can do for my bees. They are already out and about and I can’t go round them up. It seems like 24 hours should be a minimum. Jamie was told the schedule changes quickly along with wind patterns, so the go or no-go decision can switch rapidly. Still, it seems like they could schedule in advance and give ample notice. Then, if it didn’t happen, there would be no dire consequence. They could just reschedule and try again. Collateral damage from mosquito spraying From an environmental point of view, the collateral damage from such spraying must be huge. Jamie said, I live about 100 feet from the Atlantic Ocean. I can’t understand why mosquito planes are allowed to fly over the ocean and Florida Bay dropping these chemicals on the aquatic life. I agree and, naturally, my first thought was the native beesthe ones no one can protect. When I mentioned it to my husband, his first thought was the birds: either they eat poisoned insects (and fish) or else there is nothing left to eat and the birds starve. They can die either way
