Bee Products | Honey | Beeswax | Pollen and More

Honey is the first of the many bee products which come to mind when one is thinking about honeybees. To buy honey and honeycomb online from sunny California click here.

Have you ever wondered why bees make honey? Is it just so we can drizzle it on plain yogurt, or fresh raspberries or strawberries? Have you ever wondered how do bees make honey?

However there is much more than honey, even apart from the huge number of various delicious types, from the palest clover honey to the darkest buckwheat. Bee products include not only honey, but wax, pollen, royal jelly and propolis, made into foods, medicine and a host of other products.

I came across the Buzzy Bee recently and thought "What a great idea!". I get stung on almost a daily basis these days but I can well remember the sting of a needle when I was getting vaccinated at school. Although when I think about it, the part I remember was lining up in the corridor outside the school nurse's office waiting for the shot. The worst part was definitely the anticipation.

So the Buzzy Bee totally deals with that concept, it takes the focus off the needle. Click on the Buzzy Bee's image to go to her site, I'm sure Buzzy must be female since she's a worker, and see a video demonstration of her in action. I wonder whether it would work for bee stings when I'm working with my bees.......?

Many people consider honey to be a health food, not just a delicious spread. I often get requests for local honey from my bees, as it is thought to relieve the effect of some pollen allergies.

Beeswax is probably the next best known bee product, after honey. Beeswax candles are considered the best quality. They burn with little or no smoke. Religious organizations have sought beeswax candles for many centuries. There are many more products made from the wax which bees manufacture to build their combs.

Honeycomb Beeswax, Sunflower PK/6

Beeswax candles are beautiful, natural, and easy to make. They smell faintly of honey and have the special qualities of being smokeless and drip less. Activa's Honeycomb wax comes in a box of six 8" x 16" (20 cm x 40 cm) sheets.

Pollen is eaten as a health food, high in protein and trace elements. Personally I think the bees should keep their hard won pollen to feed to their growing larvae.

Propolis is probably one of the lesser known bee products, it's collected from plants by the bees to use as glue and filler around the house, I mean hive. If a hive is left untouched for a few months, even weeks, it can be quite a struggle to lift the lid which has been glued securely down. Cracks and crevices smaller than about ¼ inch are sealed up with propolis to prevent drafts.
