CONTEST "Photo hunt!" Week #1 - Honeycomb in my house. || By: @crismaryv.
Greetings and blessings dear Steemians friends, today I decided to participate in the "Photo hunt", a contest proposed by my friend @greatketty and for the theme of the first week which are insects, my participation in it will be a panel of bees full of I found today when I got to my house.
Bees are insects that live in colonies that are established in the form of swarms and in which they are organized in a strict hierarchy of three social ranks: the queen bee, the drones and the worker bees. They inhabit every continent on Earth except Antarctica, and it is one of the oldest insects, which is known to have populated our planet for more than 30 million years. More than 20,000 different subspecies of bees are known, divided into 7 recognized families.
Talking about honeycomb is not as popular as talking about honey. Some people are surprised to learn that it can be eaten and are also unaware of all its health benefits.
Bees are constantly repairing and protecting their hive with propolis. Propolis is a mixture of resins, gums and pollen that together with the secretions of bees serves to regenerate the honeycomb. Therefore, its consumption transfers to us all the regenerative properties that it has, in addition to its antiseptic, antifungal and healing action.
Among the many benefits that the consumption of honeycomb gives us, is that it provides royal jelly that is ideal to prevent anemia in children and adults.
Many beauty brands have already realized the potential of the beehive, incorporating all its benefits in creams, lotions and tonics that help with the elasticity of the skin. It is also used by food and drug companies to make syrups and sublingual tablets that are consumed during breakfast to provide energy to the brain and prevent senility.
We also found that it can be used as a tonic, that is, you can apply it directly to the skin to take advantage of the regenerative benefits.
