Subject: Kirsten Traynor's new book on honey 		hosey1924
Send Email Send Email
 


Hi,

I had the pleasure to listen to Kirsten speak at the First Honey and Health Symposium in 2008 held in Sacramento.   She delivered an artistic and poetic summary of honey and health in a presentation she entitled “A Historical Romp through Legends, Lore and Astonishing Facts”. Kirsten documented man’s encounter with honey throughout 15,000 years of recorded history was extremely interesting.  I tried to have her come to one of our fall meeting, however she went off to grad school in Arizona.

For those of us who are interested in the health benefit and history of honey, I think that Kirsten's book is a must four library.

Greg Kalicin, President of Empire State Honey Producers Association (ESHPA)

Dear Greg,

 

I hope this email finds you well and happy. I’ve finally completed my book on the scientifically demonstrated benefits of honey and have included more info below. Feel free to share it with others who might be interested or include it in your club newsletter.

 

Doctors Discover an Ancient Solution to
Modern Health Care Woes -- Honey

 

clip_image002The health care debate rages in the halls of congress and across the American dinner table as we struggle to rein in the cost of medical care. In her new book Two Million Blossoms: Discovering the Medicinal Benefits of Honey, Kirsten S. Traynor, M.S. details how doctors have rediscovered a timeless and economical remedy used effectively since the Egyptian pharaoh’s physicians.

 

New scientific findings from around the world demonstrate honey heals chronic wounds, halts antibiotic-resistant superbugs, eliminates tissue scarring, reduces brain damage, improves memory and minimizes the harmful side-effects of cancer treatments. An easily assimilated antioxidant, honey proves more effective than over-the-counter cough medicines, acts as a natural laxative, stimulates good intestinal flora, and alleviates spring allergies.

 

As conventional therapies increasingly failed to clear infected wounds, doctors started applying honey dressings with astounding success. Chronic wounds that refused to mend for many years using standard medical care costing over $300,000 suddenly started healing when treated with 43˘ of honey and gauze, according to Dr. Jennifer Eddy, a family practitioner at Health’s Family Medicine Clinic in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

 

In 2007, the FDA approved medical honey for diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, 1st and 2nd degree burns, donor sites, traumatic wounds and surgical wounds. Two Million Blossoms lets you discover the remarkable healing properties of honey.

 

“This delightful book Kirsten has written is the book I wanted to write myself twenty years ago,” world renowned honey researcher Dr. Peter Molan, Director of the Waikato Honey Research Unit in New Zealand writes in the foreword. Honey can “prevent people from suffering needlessly from ailments that detract from their quality of life.” Two Million Blossoms, a 272 page paperback, is divided into four sections that cover the history of honey, honey for human health, honey for wound healing and honey for pet care; it is available through our webstore at http://tinyurl.com/cyejf6d, Dadant, and Amazon.com.

 

The book is an excellent resource to have available for sale for your honey customers, as the the attractive cover and the detailed contents highlighting the many health benefits of honey makes a great talking point. Wholesale pricing is available to any individual or organization purchasing 10 or more copies. For wholesale orders, please contact us at kirsten@....

 

Please feel free to share with others.

 

Thanks,

Kirsten & Michael Traynor

3 indicted for smuggling Chinese honey

The Associated Press
Published: Wednesday, November 30, 2011 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 30, 2011 at 2:01 a.m.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A federal grand jury has indicted three men for smuggling Chinese honey into the United States.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Jacksonville announced Tuesday that the men are accused of mislabeling the honey as "rice fructose" to avoid more than $1 million in duties owed to the federal government.

The suspects are accused of mislabeling 123 containers, each containing 64 barrels of honey from China. After they passed through customs, the containers were relabeled as "amber honey" for sale to domestic purchasers. The honey was seized from 11 U.S. entry ports.

If convicted, the three men could face up to 20 years in prison.

Hello All,

Well the curiosity is getting to me! Those little mouse-shaped cookies were the
cutest things, plus they tasted really good. Who is the delightful little elf
that made that wonderful creation? And will they share the recipe? They were the
talk of the meeting. Thanks.

To: "chris Miazga" <miazga66@...>

"It is my bees, however, which afford me the most pleasing and extensive themes; let me look at them when I will, their government, their industry, their quarrels, their passions, always present me with something new; for which reason, when weary with labour, my common place of rest is under my locust-tree, close by my bee-house. By their movements I can predict the weather, and can tell the day of their swarming; but the most difficult point is, when on the wing, to know whether they want to go to the woods or not. If they have previously pitched in some hollow trees, it is not the allurements of salt and water, of fennel, hickory leaves, etc., nor the finest box, that can induce them to stay; they will prefer those rude, rough habitations to the best polished mahogany hive. When that is the case with mine, I seldom thwart their inclinations; it is in freedom that they work: were I to confine them, they would dwindle away and quit their labour. In such excursions we only part for a while; I am generally sure to find them again the following fall. This elopement of theirs only adds to my recreations; I know how to deceive even their superlative instinct; nor do I fear losing them, though eighteen miles from my house, and lodged in the most lofty trees, in the most impervious of our forests. I once took you along with me in one of these rambles, and yet you insist on my repeating the detail of our operations: it brings back into my mind many of the useful and entertaining reflections with which you so happily beguiled our tedious hours. "
 
"After I have done sowing, by way of recreation, I prepare for a week's jaunt in the woods, not to hunt either the deer or the bears, as my neighbours do, but to catch the more harmless bees. I cannot boast that this chase is so noble, or so famous among men, but I find it less fatiguing, and full as profitable; and the last consideration is the only one that moves me. I take with me my dog, as a companion, for he is useless as to this game; my gun, for no man you know ought to enter the woods without one; my blanket, some provisions, some wax, vermilion, honey, and a small pocket compass. With these implements I proceed to such woods as are at a considerable distance from any settlements. I carefully examine whether they abound with large trees, if so, I make a small fire on some flat stones, in a convenient place; on the fire I put some wax; close by this fire, on another stone, I drop honey in distinct drops, which I surround with small quantities of vermilion, laid on the stone; and then I retire carefully to watch whether any bees appear. If there are any in that neighbourhood, I rest assured that the smell of the burnt wax will unavoidably attract them; they will soon find out the honey, for they are fond of preying on that which is not their own; and in their approach they will necessarily tinge themselves with some particles of vermilion, which will adhere long to their bodies. I next fix my compass, to find out their course, which they keep invariably straight, when they are returning home loaded. By the assistance of my watch, I observe how long those are returning which are marked with vermilion. Thus possessed of the course, and, in some measure, of the distance, which I can easily guess at, I follow the first, and seldom fail of coming to the tree where those republics are lodged. I then mark it; and thus, with patience, I have found out sometimes eleven swarms in a season; and it is inconceivable what a quantity of honey these trees will sometimes afford. It entirely depends on the size of the hollow, as the bees never rest nor swarm till it is all replenished; for like men, it is only the want of room that induces them to quit the maternal hive. Next I proceed to some of the nearest settlements, where I procure proper assistance to cut down the trees, get all my prey secured, and then return home with my prize. The first bees I ever procured were thus found in the woods, by mere accident; for at that time I had no kind of skill in this method of tracing them. The body of the tree being perfectly sound, they had lodged themselves in the hollow of one of its principal limbs, which I carefully sawed off and with a good deal of labour and industry brought it home, where I fixed it up again in the same position in which I found it growing. This was in April; I had five swarms that year, and they have been ever since very prosperous. This business generally takes up a week of my time every fall, and to me it is a week of solitary ease and relaxation. "

Hello All,

Hello and Welcome to all the new beekeeping students. Feel free to post
questions and comments to get input from other members.

Hello regular club members. Thank you all in advance for your input and help in
conducting out 2012 Beginner Beekeeping Course. We couldn't do this with out
everyone's help. I've posted a class syllabus in the file section as well as
some other informational files. I encourage all to come to the classes and add
the their real-world beekeeping experience and stories. It's always fun,
interesting, and educational. I really encourage last years students to attend.
You're now "experts" and can give our newest members a fresh perspective on your
new experiences with bees.

As of today, we have 30 of the 50 seats spoken for. If you know anyone that
might be interested in the class, just have them drop me a note at
drsburton1@... and I'll add them to our list.

To all, Merry Christmas and Happy "Beekeeping" Year!

Thanks again,
Steve Burton

I was hoping a few of the regular members could come to the beekeeping course a
little early to help set up tables and take attendance. Appreciate the help.

Current count has us at 40 students. If anyone knows of others that may be
interested, we have only 10 more seats available. Have them contact me ASAP and
I'll send them the info packet we've put together for new beekeepers.

I always come away from these classes learning something new myself, so I
encourage any regular members to attend as many of the classes as they can. The
Syllabus and Schedule are posted in the "Files" section.

Thanks, Steve Burton

Hi everyone,
I'm in the current beekeeping course and I have a hundred questions already!  But I'll only bore you with a couple for now.  I'm going to build my hives and I'm thinking of using 3 medium supers for the hive body/brood chamber.  Anyone in the club have experience doing it this way and was it productive?  Secondly, I ordered 1 nuc from Bill (but after what I heard in class, I will now be starting 2 hives to compare progress) and I'm wondering if the nuc frames will fit into the medium super or will I need to use deeps.  Also Bill, if your out there listening I'd like to order a second nuc. :-s  Thanks for the help,  Geoff Horan

i think bill only uses deeps for his nucs (sorry he is not on the website) you
can use mediums for the brood chamber but having at least a few deeps on hand is
a good idea because they are more standard for this area. also if you go with
just mediums you may want to consider going into the winter with 4 since some of
us in the group, myself included like to get up to 2 deeps and 1 medium to help
ensure plentiful honey stores for the winter.
hope this helps

I could be wrong but think I heard Bill say that he could accommodate medium nucs for those that want them.  Since you need to contact him anyway to order a second nuc you can ask him.

 

I started with deeps, am trying to switch over to  mostly mediums because the deeps are heavy.  I can’t really see any difference in production but think the deeps are slightly better from a bee’s perspective.  For a good testimonial on going all mediums and good beekeeping advice in general  see Michael Bush’s web site http://www.bushfarms.com/bees.htm .

Maybe his phone number is already on the internet.  Try googling “Oneida County Sunny Honey”.

And we fool ourselves into thinking we're keeping bees.
