RE: Manuka Honey! - Raw Foods With Super Powers [Native To NZ]

This is pretty cool! There's also a honey that's made by Himalayan cliff bees in Nepal that can make people hallucinate but I've heard it also has some health benefits. Bees are awesome!

    I have seen a documentary about those bees! The natives climb the cliff and light a fire below it. The smoke calms the bees as they rappel down and collect the hallucinatory honey.

    In the spring, this honey contains a rare substance from rhododendron flowers called grayanotoxin. It’s known for its intoxicating effects, giving it a reputation as an aphrodisiac, a powerful medicine, a hallucinogenic drug, and (on a far less positive note) a poison.
