Honey is a product made by bees from nectar harvested in flowers. Basically honey is made up of water, fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose and other disaccharides, minerals, vitamins, enzymes, hormones, proteins, acids, amino acids and yeast. Honey is one of the few anti-bactericidal and easily digestible foods.
In the hive is used as food and also in the treatment of infections in the respiratory tract.
Honey is the food product produced by honey bees from the nectar of flowers and secretions of living parts of certain plants or secretions of plant-sucking insects that live on some plant species and that bees collect, combine with specific substances of their own, store and let ripen in honeycombs.

It is the best and oldest sweetener for family and industrial use with always guaranteed market. The FLAVOR, AROMA, COLOR and DENSITY vary according to the flowers of the plants that supplied the nectar, classifying it in several types by its botanical origin. Each species of plant enriches the nectar with its special qualities and characteristics, representing the very essence of life that is also transferred to honey. For man is the natural sweetener richest in nutritional and therapeutic components known for their energetic, stimulating, digestive and restorative value of the body. It is an energetic food, which has two sugars: glucose and fructose; minerals and others that are absorbed into the blood without prior digestion, providing rapid energy.
Honey is tasty and good for the health both for young and old, passed on bread, on toast, pure or on butter, margarine and cheese. With curd, then, it’s delicious. It also serves as a sweetener for cereals, puddings, coffee, fruit salad, baked apple fillings, even meats; always replacing the sugar. In the summer, you can make optimum and energetic refreshment (water and honey) and it is also good to sleep in a quiet way, especially when of orange flowers. Therapeutically it is good for relieving problems in the airways (flu, cough, bronchitis, etc.), as well as being an excellent treatment to relieve the pain of burns and eye drops for tired sight. Fluid honey and crystallized honey have no essential differences. They are of the same nature, whether in the liquid or solid state, sweetened or granulated.
The honey when removed from the combs has an aqueous appearance, after a certain time it appears pasty or granulated by the crystallization of sugars, according to its composition. The granulation consists of the separation of the glucose (solid form). It is therefore a natural process that does not harm honey. To make the honey return to its natural state (liquid), simply heat it without a lid, in a “bain-marie” with a low heat (approximately 50ºC). It can have different colors according to the type of flower and remains intact for long periods because the bee adds formic acid, a good preservative, and the inhibited, excellent bactericide. The composition of the honey varies greatly according to the region and the type of honey:
- Water …………………… .17.7%
- Glucose ………………… ..34%
- Fructose ………………… .40.5%
- Sucrose ………………… .1,9%
- Mineral salts ………… .0.18%
- Potassium, chloride, calcium, sulfur, sodium, iron, etc.
- Other: ………………… .5,72%
Note: Other: CA and EF phosphate, formic and acetic acid, yeasts, vitamin A, B1, B2, B5, B6, C, E and K, and pollen grains.
The effects of honey on the human body are as follows: • Immune. • Anti-bacterial. • Anti-inflammatory. • Analgesic and sedative. • Expectorant. • Hypo sensitizer.
Pollen
Pollen is the male reproductive cell of plants, which is harvested and processed by bees (from the Latin pollen – fine dust). Pollen contains amino acids, proteins, higher carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals among other elements. Pollen is the fecundant part of the flower carried by the bees to the hive.
Its main uses are:
- In the hive is used as protein food.
- Soothing.
- Lowers blood pressure.
- Increases the rate of hemoglobin.
- Good digestive tract functioning.
- Calcification.
- Growth.
- Sexual performance.
- Memory Disorders.
- In cosmetics such as pastes and face creams.
- Physical and mental exhaustion.
- Avoid nervousness and insomnia, among other applications.

Biologically, it is the male fertilizing element of the flower, which attracts the ovary of the same fertilizes the seeds, guaranteeing the reproduction of the plant. It is formed by tiny grains, located in the anthers of the flower stamens from where it is harvested by the bees and taken to the hive for use in the preparation of the food of the young larvae (the family babies), due to the high nutritional value, rich in natural proteins , plus a whole process of minerals, such as; potassium, phosphorus, sulfur, copper, iron, chlorine, magnesium, silicon and a vitamin complex: B, C, D, E. It has almost all the elements necessary for vegetable and animal video with composition similar to royal jelly. For man it is not a remedy, but a super nutriment with high value nutrients, indicated for the functional and harmonious balance of the human organism, producing well-being and physical vigor, with action already proven in the following cases:
- Physical and mental exhaustion.
- Premature aging.
- Regulator of gastric functions.
- Preventive effects against diseases.
- Arterial hypertension.
- Skin fragility.
- Eye weakness.
- Precocious hair loss and whitening.
- Prostate infections and more.
How to use: In natural one teaspoon in the morning for adults and children half. This dose can be extended overnight and also increased without contraindications. Presentation in the market in granulated form (acorns) and in suspension with honey in the percentage of 5 to 20%. The tiny pollen grains vary in shape, size, and color among plant species, so in practice they serve to identify the plant and the origin of the honey. For the identification of the pollen found through an analysis, which is called Melisso palynology, the study of pollen in honey. The study of pollen in the plant is called palynological. For human use, the pollen can only be collected from regions free of the application of agrotoxics and formed by plants of good production, considering color and flavor thereof. To preserve it must be dehydrated in special greenhouses at a maximum temperature of 50 degrees Celsius until it reduces its moisture to 5 to 8%, or within 24 hours after being harvested, selected and cleaned, stored in the refrigerator or in the freezer when in paste form for later use.
Royal jelly
It is a substance produced by the bees through the pharyngeal glands, aged between 4 and 11 days of life. It is the queen’s food throughout her life and from the larvae until the third day of life. It is composed on average of 31% of proteins, 15% of water, 15% of esters extract, 12% of dextrose, 0,7 of phosphorus, vitamins B1, B2, B6, BB, C and E, pathogenic acid among others elements.
Its main uses are:
- Used in the hive as food.
- Cosmetics for the skin.
- Help in the physical and mental development of children.
- In the treatment of rickets and anemia.
- Regulates the functions of the nervous system, cardiovascular, respiratory and digestive systems, kidneys and liver.
- Decrease in stress and fatigue, among other applications.
saber mais
It is a natural product secreted by the hypopharyngeal glands of young bees, with 3 to 12 days of adult life. Undoubtedly in nature there is no other food as rich and powerful as the royal jelly. Undeniably, by its composition and amounts of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, harmonics, enzymes, mineral substances, specific vital factors, bio-catalytic substances in the processes of regeneration of cells developing important actions in the human body. Information from witnesses and data collected from various authors in summary bibliographies, cite the following benefits obtained with the use of royal jelly, such as: asthma bronchitis, bactericide and microbicide, diabetic problems, arteriosclerosis, geriatrics, liver diseases, postoperative , depletion, cell regeneration, rheumatism, cancer, vision problems, stomach ulcers, flu, and more.
How to conserve royal jelly:
- When pure, store in a refrigerator in a tightly closed glass bottle.
- When mixed with honey it can be stored in a normal environment, without placing it in the refrigerator.
- Factors that detract from the conservation of the royal jelly are: light, excessive heat, inadequate air processing.
- The air causes oxidation of the royal jelly.
Dosages, on average, are 100-300 milligrams; cases of special treatment of 800-1000 milligrams, by medical consultation. To take, the usual is in the morning and at bedtime. The production of royal jelly is profitable but depends on special knowledge.
PRÓPOLIS
Propolis, from the Greek pro-front and polis-city, is a product harvested by bees in flowers, trunks and tree for their use in cleaning, protection, plugging cracks and mummifying. Its average composition is 55% of resins and balms, 30% of wax, 10% of vegetable oils, 4% of pollen among other substances. Propolis is a natural antibiotic with high energetic properties, anti bactericides, healing, regenerating, anti infectious and an excellent conservative and regenerator of cellular tissues.
Its main uses are:
- Ulcer and gastritis.
- General cicatrization.
- Intestinal infections.
- Bronchitis, cough, pneumonia and tuberculosis.
- Cholesterol.
- Simple Herpes and Zoster.
- Kidney disease.
- Vaginitis and cervicitis.
• Diabetes and hypoglycaemia, among other applications.

The name PRÓPOLIS has its origin in the Greek prefix PRO, that means “before or in favor”, and the suffix POLIS, that means “city” or “poblado”. Propolis is a plant resin that bees collect from certain plants, mainly conifers or species where the product is found in the bark, in resinous form; in others, propolis is found in buds about to bloom, as in peach, plum, etc. There are cases where even on the green leaves the bees find the propolis. The bees harvest this material with the use of their jaws, with which they scrape and make it malleable, manipulating it with their paws, until they fix the propolis in its orbículas (on the legs) as if it were pollen, transporting it, until its hive.
In the beehive serves as:
- Construction material; to varnish and waterproof the walls of the combs, before the queen’s posture, as well as the other walls, ceiling, floor and pictures of the hive.
- To cover invading enemies, killed by the bees themselves and can not be removed by embalming them with propolis.
- To close cracks and reduce alveolus during cold weather and even for defense against enemies.
- To isolate everything that bees do not like and may endanger the survival of the family.
- To serve as a hive disinfectant, eliminate fungi, etc., in favor of bee health.
For man has proven therapeutic functions as treatments:
- Malignant tumors.
- Bronchitis (tuberculosis).
- Acute and chronic eczemas.
- Various wounds, purulent and also calluses.
- Mycotic foot infections, especially of the fingers.
- Mycotic skin infections.
- Throat inflammation.
- Inflammation of the bronchi, larynx and nasal mucosa.
- Indicated in the treatment of canker sores and gingivitis.
Externally it is excellent for burns, wounds, micoses, warts, insect bites, toothache, among others. From the propolis extract, a great number of by-products can be elaborated, among them the tincture of propolis, syrups, sweets, ointments, ointments, soaps, honey with propolis and other formulas.
