Science shows that people sleep better when they eat honey before bedtime.
Fireweed honey is made in the clear mountain air.Bees Increase Berry Size in Raspberries and Blackberries
James Cane, a researcher at the Agricultural Research Service in Utah, has been studying the effects of pollination by the honey bee Apis mellifera and the solitary bee Osmia lignaria in raspberries and blackberries. These plants are generally self-pollinating, meaning it is not necessary to place pollinating units (beehives) into fields to ensure fruit production. Dr. Cane found that there was a significant increase in berry size when the flower was pollinated by bees compared with self-pollination, with berries visited by bees being 30 percent heavier. This appears to be because these flowers have multiple pistils and insect pollination results in a larger number of pistils receiving pollen, resulting in the development of larger fruit.
