There is wide knowledge about the benefits of raw honey such as Beezy Beez, but there are many things you probably do not know about bees, honey, and the work bees do in between the production off honey. These Five Fun Facts will surprise you, as well as make great story time the next time you go out and buy a jar of honey.

1. Honey is a preservative. Yes, while the sweet golden liquid of nature is best known for healing wounds and being a nutritious snack, for many years honey has been used as a preservative to preserve the quality of fruits and other perishable items, keeping them fresh longer without the risk of food spoiling, as fruits and vegetables spoil quickly when not stored correctly.

2. Honey bees understand adapting to survive, and in the winter, the bees form in a cluster, and vibrate n unison to help each other survive. This allows them to form a safe spot for the Queen bee as well as the brood bees. They work together to protect one another from the harsh temperature of the Winter season.

3. Honey comes in a variety of flavors, in a wide range from sweet to spicy to floral to fruity, depending on the type of flowers visited by the bees.

4. Honey has an eternal shelf life because it is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs moisture from surrounding air and retains it, aiding in preservation. Honey can outlast any other item in your pantry!

5. Bees are tiny, but very mighty! With their astonishing ability to travel at maximum, lengthy speeds, bees can travel for longer distances than one might assume. To produce one pound of honey, a colony would have to buzz and fly 55,000 miles!

These fun facts can create important conversations in a variety of settings, whether that be during a trip to the grocery store when buying honey, a coffee date with your best friend, or your group of students during afternoon story time. There is a lot to learn about bees and the things they do, and just how amazing they are at their job of making honey and maintaining a tidy environment.

What is it that keeps New York Raw Honey in safe, secure corners? Look no further than the hexagonal, golden Honeycomb. The honeybees, persistent at their craft and expertise in keeping the hive a busy place of production, rely on the honeycomb to fulfill their purpose in nature. 

When it comes to making Beezy Beez Raw Honey, it is evident that there would be no such thing as Beezy Beez without huge help from the honeycomb. Keeping things in place such as measurement and angles, the honeycomb ensures that there is a place for honey to be secured before the packaging process begins. Honeycombs are made from beeswax, a natural wax made from bees, which they use to construct the honeycomb inside their hives. Bees make their beeswax by chewing on some of their already made honey, which is digested and transformed into wax. The beeswax has a liquid texture, but when excreted through the honey bee’s lower abdomen, the wax hardens as it hits the air. After forming scales, the bees chain together in a process called “festooning”-  to construct the honeycomb. Festooning helps the bees bridge any gaps in the comb, providing the bees and the honeycomb with a more durable structure. 

A sturdy honeycomb is a healthy environment, enabling the bees to thrive and produce honey while protecting their biological well-being. Because honey is a bee’s primary source of energy, they need an environment that will protect them and not disrupt their function. Without the proper atmosphere, the honeybee species can be at risk. 

Honeycombs are used for storage. A single hexagon inside a honeycomb is called a cell. Each cell has a small opening where honey and nutrients are stored. Sometimes, these cells are used to raise the next batch. Honeybee family planning- or mating in animal terms- is unique to the bee species. Known as “brood cells”, the Queen Bee lays her eggs in them after returning from mating with a male bee. Incubating the developing honeybee, the brood cells are where the egg goes from larvae to pupa to eventually, a live honeybee.
