Bees are social insects, cousins of wasps and ants. Bees are very useful in nature as flower pollinators, and as a side job, they produce lots of good products for us, like honey, beeswax, pollen, and royal jelly. Honey has been found to have medicinal qualities, particularly when applied topically to burns, wounds, and ulcers.
Europeans have taken the lead in creating standards for organic honey. Most Local Harvest honey producers follow these same principles of
earth-stewardship in their beekkeeping: their bees only sup on non-polluted flowers and forage; the farmers do not use nasty pesticides to free their bees of mites; and they make sure that antibiotics do not make their way into honey.
