✨🍯 A sweet story that transcends millennia 🍯✨

Did you know that archaeologists discovered jars of honey in Ancient Egyptian tombs over 3,000 years old – and the honey was still preserved? 🤯

That’s because honey has a unique composition:
🐝 Low moisture → microorganisms can’t survive.
🐝 Acidic pH → prevents bacteria and fungi.
🐝 Bee enzymes → produce natural substances that preserve it.

For the Egyptians, honey was considered sacred: it was used as food, in religious rituals, as medicine, and even as offerings for pharaohs in the afterlife. ✨⚱️

Honey is not only sweet, it’s a true time capsule of nature. 🌍💛

👉 Did you ever imagine that honey could survive intact for millennia?

On Aug 24 th, I will have the privilege to teach about Meliponini Stingless bees for the program. In addition to learn about these amazing insects, I will also do a tasting session with the participants who will receive a honey sample at home! See the link for registration in my bio.

It was just another great day in working on the and recruiting more volunteers and collaborators. On this trip we met Mateo from who has kindly volunteered to create a webpage for the project. We also went to see nest #5 that is thriving in a private property and where Sarah and Dawn are making observations on their entrance activity. Then we went to meet with Corey at the who is building a Meliponary there along with a pollinator garden. The day ended with a visit with Annie from who has recruited volunteers to build another meliponary near the at Rinconada Park and fancy beehives are being built !
