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

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR AUGUST 18 TO AUGUST 24, 2003
WEATHER: Ah, this was a wet week in Cabo! We had about 5 hours of steady rain on
Monday, early in the morning, just a forecast of what was to come. A little more rain on
Thursday and then of course we started to get really wet today as Tropical Storm Ignacio
approached. Just in case you are wondering, I am writing this on Saturday the 23rd, the Port
Captain closed the Port this morning and it is not expected to re-open until Monday morning. We
have been told that the storm is supposed to make landfall sometime tomorrow morning at strong
Tropical Storm strength. It is 118 miles to the southeast and moving northwest at 6 mph with
T.S. winds extending 70 miles from the center, so we should start to feel the wind this afternoon.
The rest of the week it has been muggy with little breeze, our daytime highs in the high 90s and
night time lows in the low 80s. (Blond Over Blue)
WATER: Great water this week with swells in the 1-3 foot range and little wind ripple on the
water. This was both on the Pacific side and the Sea of Cortez. The water was in the mid to high
80s almost everywhere with some really warm spots showing up on the East Cape. The Pacific
was cooler than the Sea of Cortez, and that is normal. There was no really defined temperature
break within reach of the Cabo boats this week so almost everyone was working current lines and
upwellings. (A Minor Variation)
BAIT: Early in the week we had Mackerel and some Sardinas available, at the normal $2 per
bait, along with a few Mullet. At the end of the week, bait was scarce and most boats were only
able to pick up five or six pieces, a few Caballito or Mackerel and then whatever the bait boats
could come up with, also at $2 per bait. (Shades Of Grey)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: This turned out to be a good week for Marlin for many of the boats, but a lot of
them came in without ever seeing a Marlin. It seemed that the concentration was on the Pacific
side within 8 miles of the shore, and ranged from outside the Pedregal houses to the area known
as Los Arcos, up to the north. Most of the fish early in the week were Blue Marlin in the 200-250
pound range with larger fish seen, and a lot of Striped Marlin were spotted as well but were
reluctant to bite. Lures in black/green and purple/black worked well on the Blue Marlin as did
slow trolled Bonito or Skipjack. Live Yellowfin Tuna did not work as well as the other species,
but still got some good results. Later in the week the Striped Marlin began to bite and the action
seemed to be mixed with equal results on both lures and live bait. Other areas turned out Marlin
but the bite was more sporadic and spread out. Best time seemed to be between 10 and 2. (All
About Soul)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Not the fish of the week for most of the boats, but a few of them really had
great action. We were lucky and got into the fish on Thursday. The Tuna were mixed in with
Porpoise and most of the fish were between 15 and 30 pounds. There were a few larger fish in
the mix however, and we hooked one estimated at #180 before loosing it at the side of the boat,
and another boat caught one that weighed #180 on Friday in the same area. The fish showed
strong for a few day around 5 miles to the southeast of the 95 spot and bit well on cedar plugs
and dark feathers. Gee, it seems that every week when I write about the fish, they seem to like
the same thing as the week before. Hmm, maybe I should just eliminate what they have been
biting from the report entirely! There were other fish scattered around the area, but almost every
one of them that was caught was Porpoise associated. Our big fish hooked up on a Hi-5 lure in
purple/black run on the short rigger. (Lullabye)
DORADO: Just like the past two weeks, the Dorado have been a bit scarce and the ones that
have been caught have been large fish, averaging 35 pounds. They have been incidental catch
for the most part, found while working the porpoise for Tuna or while looking for Marlin. (The
River Of Dreams)
WAHOO: See Dorado, above. (Two Thousand Years)
INSHORE: With the water as nice as it has been, most of the Pangas have been focusing on Tuna
and Marlin, but a few have been actively searching for Roosterfish. There were some very nice
ones caught up on the Pacific side early in the week, many of them in the 40 pound range. Slow
trolled Mullet were the key, and as far as I am aware, everyone of the fish were released. There
were some nice bottomfish caught as well, but only a few boats were trying for them. Grouper
and Snapper to 12 pounds on both cut bait and Sardinas were found around rocks in 120 feet of
water. (Famous Last Words)
NOTES: There were some of the intermediate size giant Squid caught this week, with a fairly
strong showing of 3 to 4 foot long fish about 1/2 to 1 mile off the lighthouse on the Pacific side.
A few big Blue Marlin in the #500 class were landed (unfortunate, sure wish they had been
released) and as I said above, there were some bruiser Yellowfin out there. Clients of ours went
on a last minute trip on another boat this week since we were already booked, and even though
they asked that the Marlin they caught be released, the captain and crew ignored them, gaffed and
landed the fish. Please, please, please, if the crew ignores your request to release, dont tip them!
You are the client, you are paying good money and if they want to go commercial fishing, let
them do it on their own dime! Also, I met another group who booked a boat from one of the
coyotes on the beach, gave him a $50 deposit and them wondered why the guy never showed up
outside the Kentucky Fried Chicken store at 6 in the morning to take them to the boat! Come on
folks, some guy you have never met before, out on the beach, not even at a storefront location,
renting you a 46 Hattaras for $1,100 the next day and only asking for a $50 deposit? Get real,
sorry, but thats not very smart. This weeks report written to the music of Billy Joel on his 1993
Sony Music release River Of Dreams.
NOTES: Well its Monday morning. Lost a weekend of fishing. Not too much damage, mostly
a little wind. All the boats are still floating. What we call a banana storm. Only strong enough to
knock over the banana trees and break a few branches. Not much rain hit us. Cabo is fine!
Back to fishing tomorrow.
