Bee-ing supportive
















  • honey is antibacteria
  • honey is hydroscopic, meaning "water loving"...honey holds moisture in place and even draws moisture out of the air (hence, the reason for the bread not drying out)

  • honey gives a slow steady release of energy instead of peaks and valleys that come from eating sugar!

  • weight lifters, triatheletes, and competitive sport figures use honey before, during and after a workout.

  • honey does not cause cavities. The sugars in honey don't begin breaking down until they reach the stomach.

  • find a local beekeeper to purchase raw, unfiltered, unheated honey to obtain all its natural vitamins and nutrients

  • The National Honey Board and the American Medical Association found through research that eating honey raised within a 50 mile radius of your home would help with allergies.
