LO SAPEVI? 🐝Ci sono enzimi vivi nel miele. 🐝A contatto con un cucchiaio metallico, questi enzimi muoiono. 🐝Il modo migliore per mangiare il miele è con cucchiaio di legno o plastica. 🐝Il miele contiene una sostanza che aiuta il tuo cervello a lavorare meglio. 🐝Il miele è uno dei rari cibi sulla terra che da solo può sostenere la vita umana. 🐝Basta un cucchiaino di miele per sostenere la vita umana per 24 ore. 🐝La propoli che producono le api, è uno dei più potenti antibiotici naturali 🐝Il miele non ha data di scadenza. 🐝I corpi dei grandi imperatori del mondo venivano sepolti in bare d'oro e poi ricoperti di miele per evitare la putrefazione. 🐝Il termine "luna di miele" deriva dal fatto che gli sposi hanno consumato il miele per la fertilità dopo il matrimonio. 🐝Un'ape vive meno di 40 giorni, visita almeno 1000 fiori e produce meno di un cucchiaino di miele nella sua vita. 🐝Una delle prime monete aveva un simbolo di ape sopra. Profonda gratitudine all'umile APE! 🐝
