The healing powers of Honey – natural remedies and dietary supplements

The healing powers of honey have been known, tried and tested by man for thousands of years. Early written evidence has been found in Ancient Egyptian texts.

World-renowned physicist Albert Einstein once said: “If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination, no more men!”

Slovenian bees are defying the global decline in bee colonies

A team of scientists has found that the number of bee colonies in central Europe has shrunk over the years, and the number of beekeepers in Europe has declined since 1985. The findings, presented in the Journal of Apicultural Research, add weight to an escalating problem. The results are part of the EU-funded ALARM (‘Assessing large-scale environmental risks with tested methods’)

The widespread Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) is having an alarming effect on the most common European species, the Western Honey Bee, and this is causing great concern, but there is one species – native to Slovenia – the Carniolan bee which is resistant and continues to thrive.
