| Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back to at least the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period about 40,000 years ago. Isotopic analysis of the remains of Tianyuan man, a 40,000-year-old modern human from eastern Asia, has shown that he regularly consumed freshwater fish. |

Aug 1, 2023; 07:26AM - They Don't Teach You This About Honey Bees in Schools
|
|

Author Name: @TheWarKitchen

Tip&Trick Description 1:
1. Honey is the only food that has every single substance to sustain life.
2. Honey doesn't ever turn bad. You can actually eat honey that was found in Egyptian tombs
thousands of years ago. (if you dare) ‼️
3. A single bee produces just HALF a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. Hard work.
4. The darker the honey, the more powerful its medicinal properties and the less sweet it is.
The inverse also holds true.
5. Honey is the original antibiotic. It's been used as an antibacterial and antifungal for
generations.
6. Honey is a natural sleeping pill. Consuming honey aids with the production of melatonin.
Drink a warm cup of chamomile and take a shot of honey to the dome. Game changer.
7. You don't need to wash your honey dipper if you leave it in the jar of honey itself. Honey
is a natural preservative, so bacteria will not grow.
8. To make one pound of honey, bees need to visit 2 million flowers. 2 MILLION.

Tip&Trick Description 2:
9. Honey is the only food made by an insect that's actually eaten by BOTH the insect and us.
We're literally best friends.
10. Honey is one of the original remedies for an everyday cough & allergies. Local honey is
said to be useful in curing seasonal allergies.
11. Bees don't sleep. Work hard. Play hard.
12. Honey is excellent on burns. Cool the burn in running water. Pat it dry. Apply raw, organic
honey. It will speed up healing and even reduce any eventual scarring.
13. Babies under 12 months of age shouldn't ingest honey (their immune system isn't yet strong
enough to handle a certain strain of bacteria that's quite prevalent in honey)
14. Honey, like a lot of 'animal-based' products have a myriad of topical and oral applications
that make it incredibly versatile. Nature's all purpose drug.
15. The only honey that exists in my world is raw, organic unfiltered honey. To pasteurize
honey is to ruin the work of thousands of bees. You are literally a war criminal.
16. Everyone raves about Manuka honey, but the real ones have tried Jarrah. If you know, you
know.
17. Honey is one of the best hydration sources in the world. Honey > Pre Workout.
18. Honey is nature's moisturizer. |

18. Honey is nature's moisturizer.
19. Royal jelly is a special compound that worker bees secret; so potent it can transform an
ordinary bee into a queen bee. It's like a concentrated, supercharged version of honey.
20. The honey bee is a crucial part of our ecosystem. Without their help, over a third of all
food eaten in America wouldn't exist.
21. Honey should be a key ingredient in shampoos. Cleopatra did it. Why shouldn't we?
22. Bees communicate with other bees by dancing. That's how they signal where the best flowers
are. Seems familiar...
23. Honey is a source of flavanoids and phenolic acids — antioxidants which have been studied
to have incredible anti-inflammatory and even anti-cancer properties.
24. The hexagonal shape of honeycomb cells is a MARVEL. How did they know to use hexagons?
Hexagons are the most efficient shape to store the maximum amount of honey with the least
amount of wax needed to build. Geniuses.
To the anti-honey community:
When we eat honey we are NOT stealing from bees. It's a symbiotic relationship. We protect them
from the harsh conditions of nature, giving them a safe space to have their fun and make their
vomit.
They are so happy that they usually produce more honey than they could ever physically consume.
By consuming their excess honey, we are actually helping them restore balance in the hive.
So yes people, eat more honey. Buy all the varieties. Gift it to everyone around you. And
always remember to give thanks to our wonderful striped yellow friends

Baja Conditions Falling into Place
REPORT #1029 Below the Border Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
Endless Season Update 09/23/06
East Cape
As storm season winds down, it was another busy week of clean up and preparation for the flood of visitors who will begin arriving after the 1st of October. Traditionally, Chubasco season officially ends in late October, but with cooler temperatures both on the mainland and Baja, hopes are high that the worst is behind us.
Nice weather with some wind chop in the PM was the report from the anglers who were out on the water.
If tuna are your thing, this was a great week to be at East Cape. Tuna schools were found just a few miles offshore from La Ribera all the way down to below Las Frailes, providing enough action to keep the sashimi flowing at Happy Hour back at the hotels.
As the water continued to clear up close to shore, more dorado were found under the floating debris left in the wake of the recent storms. Anglers who failed to have their rods rigged when they left the dock took more than a little heat when the boats skidded to a stop on floating weed patches close to the hotel. Small olive-backed See Through Deceivers or Baja Wasabis were the flies of choice.
A few anglers opted to spend their time looking for billfish, but the action included more dorado and tuna than the targeted billfish this week.
Locals predict some extraordinary East Cape action as conditions settle down in the next few weeks.
Water temperature 74-89
Air temperature 74-94
Humidity 89%
Wind: NNE at 9 kph
Conditions: Partly Cloudy
Visibility 9 miles
Sunrise 7:07 a.m. MDT
Sunset 7:14 p.m. MDT
Magdalena Bay, Baja Mexico
Every year, boats seem to be arriving earlier to search for the holy grail the fish build-up that often is found offshore here at Magdalena. This year is no different. I received a call from Nick Smith, Palm Beach, Fla., whose Old Reliable is steaming up the West Coast of Mexico to begin fishing for billfish on the fly later this month. From recent reports, his timing may be right on target. A few yachts traveling through the area have reported large schools of billfish, tuna and dorado all the way from Thetis down to the entrada.
Inshore the action at the entrada included a few small yellows, grouper and bonito with skipjack just beyond the entrance. Still a few sierra on the surface at Punta Belchers with halibut hugging the sandy bottom.
Up at Lopez Mateos, Diana Hoyt reports that the mangrove action included corvina, grouper and spotted bay bass.
Water temperature 64 - 78
Air temperature 74-83
Humidity 87%
Wind: NE 5 mph
Conditions: Scattered Clouds
Visibility 7 miles
Sunrise 7:15 a.m. MDT
Sunset 7:21 p.m. MDT
Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico
No report received this week. The following is a repeat of last weeks information with a weather update.
Water temperature 78 - 87
Air temperature 76 - 92
Humidity 86%
Wind E 5 kph
Conditions: T-Storms
Visibility 7 miles
Sunrise 7:35 a.m. CDT
Sunset 7:42 p.m. CDT
We really do not know how the fishing is right now. Tropical storm Lane formed only 60 miles out in front of us, and the port has been closed for 4 days now.
We do know the blue water has not come in very much from the 20 mile mark where it was pushed out last week by hurricane John.
And, just like Hurricane John, even though the port was closed and we got rain, we did not get any wind at all. However, I have recorded 9.75 inches of rain since this last Monday (the 11th), almost twice the amount of rain we got from John. Things should start clearing up soon, and we can get back to fishing.
