The question of honey is the question of bees

If you want to be white, drink milk.

The state of real honey and how to identify it.

1. Smell and smell: the smell of honey. After opening, the fresh honey has a distinct floral aroma, and the aged honey has a lighter aroma. The smell of fake honey made with flavors is unpleasant. Monofloral nectar has the fragrance of its nectar source itself.

2. Taste: Taste the taste of honey. Pure honey not only has a pleasant aroma, but also has a strong aroma in the mouth.

Put the honey on the tongue, use the tongue against the upper jaw, the honey slowly enters the throat, it will feel slightly sweet and slightly sour, the taste is delicate, the throat is slightly spicy, and the aftertaste is long. After adulteration, the above sensation becomes lighter, and it has a sugar water taste, a strong sour or salty taste, etc.

3. Pick: Check the moisture content of honey. In China, it is customary to take immature honey, so the water content of honey is high.

Most of the best honey on the market is processed, concentrated, and has a relatively low water content. Honey is picked up by chopsticks or fingers, and honey can be drawn is preferred, and there is no drawing phenomenon, indicating that the water content is high. You can also drop a drop of honey on the straw paper, and the water trace is easy to spread, indicating that the water content is high.

Pure honey is beaded and does not spread.

role

1. Good antioxidants**.

Honey contains a range of phytochemicals that act as antioxidants. Some types of honey have as many antioxidants as fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants help protect your body from cellular damage caused by free radicals.

Free radicals can lead to aging and may also contribute to the development of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Studies have shown that antioxidants called polyphenols in honey may play a role in preventing heart disease.

2. Antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Studies have shown that honey can kill unwanted bacteria and fungi. It naturally contains hydrogen peroxide, a preservative. Depending on the honey, its efficacy as an antimicrobial or antifungal agent varies, but apparently it acts more than just a folk** for these types of infections.

The first thing you must look at is the quality of honey, only high-quality honey is rich in nutrients. Therefore, remind everyone to choose high-quality mature honey, you can look at the test data of honey before buying, so that you have a certain understanding of the ingredients in honey, the quality of honey is ***, it contains rich nutrients, and it can also better nourish the body.

The second is to look at the taste, there are certain differences in the taste of honey brewed from different nectar source plants, such as the taste of jujube nectar is relatively mellow, the fragrance of jujube flower is rich, and the sweetness is relatively large. The water white honey has a fresh taste, the fragrance of acacia flowers is obvious, and the smell is elegant. Therefore, when you buy honey, you can choose according to your own taste.

In addition, different honey focuses on different functions, some honey moistens the intestines, relieves constipation, some promotes blood circulation, and some can relieve cough, so when you buy honey, you should choose according to the effect you want, and the one that suits you is the best.

The honey in the supermarket has to be processed to some extent, otherwise it is not easy to store.

There is a test method, take a small amount of honey and put it on a metal spoon and roast it over a fire, if it is made with syrup or a lot of syrup, the honey in the spoon will be charred black, and purer honey will not. - Seen in a book.

The more suspenseful things are, the less credible they are, and it feels a bit like magic (like Liu Qian walking through glass with one hand, as long as you unlock it, it's not magical). It's just that you don't know how magic does it. It must be that the merchant has done something on honey, it is okay to take a walk when traveling, it is best to be cautious and cautious when buying things, and the TV news does not know how much the inside story has been exposed, and it is not necessarily that everyone is vigilant and precautionary.

I think that's absolutely deceiving. Just to win the trust of tourists, there is no so-called hexagonal arrangement of honey is real honey, I had an uncle who was a beekeeper when I was a child, and I have never heard the old man say such a ridiculous thing.

What you say is impossible, I don't believe it.

No, there should be something wrong with his water, or something wrong with the way it shakes.

Worker bee. Be.

Colony. Females with imperfectly developed reproductive organs.

Bees, which undertake the collection in the colony.

Nectar. Pollen.

Defend against aggression and other field work, and also take care of nurturing.

Larvae. Build and repair.

Nest spleen. , cleaning the nest and other work.

Among the bee colonies, the most numerous and busiest can be regarded as worker bees. Worker bees in addition to out.

In addition to collecting honey for other bee colonies, there is also the responsibility of protecting the bee colony from attack, but the status of worker bees is very low, especially because they do not have fertility.

So what exactly is the difference between them and the queen bee, who is also a female?

Worker bees are not born without a sex, but are.

After birth. Taken away. In fact, whether they can develop into queen bees depends on their diet after birth.

After hatching from the eggs, if they are eaten for five days in a row.

Royal jelly, the bee body develops quickly, and it can develop into a fertile queen bee in 16 days; But on the contrary, if they only eat royal jelly for two or three days, their development rate will become slower, and they will become worms after 21 days and grow up.

Although they are still females, they have lost their fertility and become worker bees.

Breeding of queen bees:

Bees are parthenogenesis.

Population. That is, only the queen bee (which develops from a fertilized egg) is diploid (its genetic material contains the genetic material of both parents).

All other bees (worker bees) are haploid (contain only genetic material from the queen bee – made up of unfertilized ones.

Eggs. developed)

And in the bees. When young, the difference in appearance between a young bee developed from a fertilized bee egg and a young bee developed from an unfertilized bee egg is less noticeable, only at this time.

body. will emit a pheromone that will allow worker bees to feed royal jelly to young bees that have developed from fertilized eggs, in one.

in the hive. Not only one fertilized egg, but several or more, at this time all the young bees developed from the fertilized eggs will be fed royal jelly, but only one queen, just because in the process it depends on who grows faster, when one of them grows into a queen, another pheromone will be emitted from the body, this pheromone will prevent the other fertilized eggs from developing into the queen bee process, when the queen bee.

Died. It doesn't emit that pheromone, so the fastest of the remaining fertilized eggs to develop into a young bee will develop into a queen bee.
