Pollinator Machine
Who would want the world without flowers, chocolates, coffee and many more
foods? Definitely not
me.
More than 2,50,000 species of flowering plants depend on Bees for pollination.
Bees increase the yield of so many crops, vegetables and fruits.
Many of our conventional medicines and alternate remedies come from
flowering plants. If bees population continue to decline at the rate which is
happening now, not just human race would suffer, few birds and small
mammals feed on berries and seeds that rely on bee pollination would die of
hunger and inturn their predators would starve and thus the food chain would
continue to starve.
We could depend only on wind pollination but then there would be huge scarce
for food and there would be wars for food supplies. Though other insects like
butterflies, bats pollinate none is designed like a Bee as a pollinator machine.
Honey Bee follow Floral Fidility. Bees do not waste time by jumping from one
flower to another, it gathers nectar and transfer the pollen grains on to the
reproductive part of the flower. That is why it is very effective as a pollinator.
Honey Bee Products
Bee venom therapy uses venom from bees to treat ailments like arthritis, multiple
sclerosis and research is underway in using Bee Venom as a drug either to
control the disease or to reduce the symptoms.
Bee Venom
Bee Pollen
It is one of the natural super foods available on Earth. Bees collect pollen from
flowers, mixes it with its enzymes, hence makes it highly nutritious. It is rich in
proteins, amino acids, vitamins and folic acid. It boosts immunity system, used in
treating allergies, excellent antioxidant, serves as dietary supplement, regulates
weight, used in treating allergies and acts as skin soother etc.
Bee Propolis
Or Bee glue made by Honey Bees by mixing their saliva and Bees wax with the
exudate gathered from trees or other botanical sources. It is mainly used to cover
small gaps that are there in the hive. Propolis has been used in traditional medicine for
thousands of years. Propolis is being researched for the potential development of new
drugs focusing on a variety of its properties, including those for antidiabetic and anti
ulcer applications
Bees Wax
Natural wax produced by Honey Bees. It is edible, used extensively in
cosmetic industry to manufacture lip balm, moisturizer, lotions, pharma
industry etc. It has more than 300 applications.
Honey
It is fascinating to know that it takes entire life time of 12 to 15 bees to collect
one spoonful of honey vising 50 to 100 flowers.
It is an excellent medicine for cough, digestive problems, reduce allergy
symptoms, boosts your energy and can also treat wounds.
Combining Honey with fruits, vegetables and other healthful foods can add to
the nutrition and gives the total energy boost.
“If the bee disappears fromthe surface of the earth, man
would have no more thanfour years to live."
