Does bee propolis expire?
Yes, bee propolis does expire over a specific time period. The actual time in which the bee propolis expires depends on factors such as the form in which the propolis is in and the type of conditions it is stored in.
Is it okay to use propolis during pregnancy?
It is advised to avoid all Bee Products - Honey, Bee Pollen and Royal Jelly - during pregnancy. The effects of Propolis during pregnancy and breast-feeding have not been sufficiently evaluated, but since Propolis is known to be a sensitizing agent, it could cause development of allergies, therefore it is best not to use it during these times unless directed to do so by a physician.
What are the products from bees?
The main product from bees is honey, but we can also collect beeswax and propolis, a varnish-like substance made from the resins of certain plants. There is also a certain amount of pollen in the combs, and some people collect royal jelly, though this is only available in very small amounts.
Taking Gummy Prenatal Vitamins Before And After Becoming Pregnant?
How to Choose a Prenatal VitaminPrenatal vitamins are intended to be taken by women both before becoming pregnant and throughout the actual pregnancy. Depending on the diet of the individual and other medical considerations, there might be a significant amount of vitamins that need to be taken every day, sometimes requiring several different of pills. Not all people handle swallowing multiple pills very well, especially women who are in the early stages of pregnancy. This is one of the reasons that gummy prenatal vitamins have become a popular alternative for women who need to supplement their daily nutritional intake.Gummy prenatal vitamins contain many of the same nutritional benefits as standard pill-based or liquid vitamins, but are wrapped in a pleasant and slightly sweet jelly that solidifies into a chewy candy-like form. The gummy vitamins can be flavored like candy. These vitamins are especially attractive to women who are experiencing the first stages of pregnancy where smell and taste might be heightened or altered, and who have problems eating and keeping food down due to morning sickness. In some cases, prenatal gummy vitamins are also easier to digest than certain types of pills that can be very harsh on the stomach.Although many of the ingredients that are used to make gummy prenatal vitamins are the same as those found in traditional solid pills, there are some advantages that the gummy carrier provides. One is that certain vitamins can be placed into the gummy formula in a higher concentration than is possible in solid forms. Vitamin D is one example of this, which is essential in a prenatal vitamin because of its importance in allowing the body to properly process calcium. Similarly, gummy prenatal vitamins can contain high concentrations of folic acid, zinc, and iodine.There are a few peripheral advantages in taking gummy prenatal vitamins over solid pills for those who have restricted diets or food intolerances. Gummy prenatal vitamins often contain few or no carbohydrates. They can also be made from exclusively plant-based sources so that vegetarians and others who cannot eat animal-based ingredients can safely receive their nutritional value. The only concern about gummy prenatal vitamins is if they are not properly kept away from children who might think they are candy and eat so many that they could develop vitamin toxicity.
How does a bee hive work?
Your question is a bit vague, since beehives do a lot! I'll do my best to hit the high points.Beehive Functionspollinationhoney productionpropolis productionlocal pollen productionroyal jelly productionbeeswax productionfood for birds, skunks, ants, spidersSo how does it "work" when they do all that? It's a long list, so let's itemize it.PollinationWhen honeybees are out flitting from flower to flower, they inadvertently pick up grains of pollen and transport them. The same effect is observed when the bees gather pollen.Honey ProductionProbably the most familiar function of beehives is honey production. See my answer about how bees make honey in the related links section.Propolis ProductionWhat the heck is propolis? Glad you asked. Propolis is what honeybees use in the wild to keep their hives' components stuck together; it's made from tree resins mixed with pollen, and can be brown, black, white, red, yellow, or green. Propolis is used in traditional medicines.Local Pollen ProductionOf course, honeybees don't actually make pollen; they just gather it from flowers more effectively than humans can. Honeybees use pollen for food (it's a good source of protein, apparently!) Humans use local pollen to relieve allergies.Royal Jelly ProductionHoneybees produce royal jelly in glands on top of their heads. They feed it to their larvae for the first three days after hatching, but it's called "royal" because it's the only food of queens for their whole lives.Beeswax ProductionBeeswax is produced in the fourth through eighth abdominal sections of workers. They build their entire hives from beeswax, produced one flake at a time, one bee at a time.FoodI'm sorry to say that bees also serve near the bottom of the food chain as lunch for skunks, birds, ants, and spiders.I hope that helps you understand a bit more of how beehives work. There's plenty more to learn, so I hope this has piqued your interest. :)
Can you take bee pollen royal jelly and honey together with clomid and other fertility drugs?
Yes, royal jelly and other honey products can be taken with fertility drugs. Royal jelly contains a compound of various vitamins and nutrients that are recommended for fertility (including A, C, E, B complex, and amino acids.) It does not contain actual hormones, although some researchers believe it may help regulate hormones. Taking honey-derived products would be comparable to taking any other multivitamin supplement. They help to make an ideal environment for conception. Royal jelly would be recommended for female fertility, and bee pollen for male fertility. A gradual introduction is suggested, due to the possibility of allergic sensitivities to pollen (or other bee products.)
Why do plants survive and grow even if pollen grains are cut off?
jelly fish eat plants
What is Apitherapy?
Apitherapy is the medical use of bee products such as honey, pollen, royal jelly, and bee venom.
Where can you buy Royal Jelly?
Royal jelly is available in many places such as your local pharmacy, online in specialized shops and even at your local beekeeper which I recommend the most. If you buy it locally you can res assured it has all the vitamins and nutrients it should have. During the transport royal jelly looses some of it nutrients and vitamins so buying it from local beekepers or suppliers is vital.
What is the difference between raw honey and processed honey?
Raw honey is far more delicious! It is cloudier and may contain crystals. Raw honey still contains the propolis and royal jelly. Processed honey is clear amber color.
What do bees eat when honey is taken?
Nectar, nectar products, pollen and pollen products are the foods that bees eat when honey is taken. Honey is the combination of bee enzymes and floral nectars. The insects in question mix nectar, pollen and water into bee bread while royal jelly for queen bees results from pollen interacting with chemicals from worker bee glands.
Is guavas fruit?
