– Honey is mostly sugar (WoW!) it is 80% sugar and 20% water (double WoW!)
– There are over 20,000 species of bees, but only 4 make HONEY
-Honey is the ONLY food that contains all the substances you need to survive (Including WATER)
-Children under the age of 1 should not eat honey… why? because sometimes it contains bad stuff called botulism and can cause them to get botulism poisoning (that sucks, even infants should taste the deliciousness that is honey)
-Honey will crystallize under optimum temperatures (this has a lot to do with how you store it)
-Bees produce honey to eat during the winter when there are no flowers and no nectar for them.
-A honeybee would only need an ounce of honey to be able to fuel a flight around the world (this makes for a very cultural bee!)
-A typical beehive can make up to 400 pounds of honey a year! (Wowza!)
This reads like it was written by a bee and I’m 100% here for it
This is singlehandedly THE BEST compliment I have ever received 🙂
-Honey is the ONLY food that contains all the substances you need to survive (Including WATER)
This is false, but how it’s false depends on how you interpret it. If you interpret it as “you could survive indefinitely on honey alone,” that’s not true. Sugar is a desiccant, meaning the more of it you eat, the more water you need. Eating honey instead of drinking water will kill you, for pretty much the same reason drinking nothing but salt water would.
Alternatively you can interpret it as saying “technically some amount of every substance you need to live is in honey,” but that’s true of a lot of things. A pizza with green peppers and any meat topping has everything you need, too. Doesn’t mean an all-pizza diet is a good idea.
