RE: Why do Bees Swarm ?
Pure honey from your own hive is the best thing ever! It's really cool how the flavor changes too as different flowers bloom through the year.

I have noticed a difference in flavor from the different areas I travel through here in South-Africa. People sell the fresh raw honey on the side of the road in 500ml bottles here. I have also heard that to cure sinus problems caused by pollen, you just need to eat some of the honey that is locally produced in your area, as the bees mix this local pollen into the honey, and if you eat it, your body builds up kind of natural immunity and your sinus problems go away. I have given this advise together with some local honey to a friend, and it does seem to have helped. Still not sure if its just an old wife's tale or if its true, but it sure makes sense....especially from what I've seen.
I think there is truth in that. It is also said that bee stings help arthritis and joint stiffness. I didn't think much of that until I noticed my hands no longer hurt after having the bees.
