Random Fact I learned yesterday: I apparently have been living very close to ground zero of one of the world's greatest biosecurity breaches.

Random Bee Fact I learned today: When bees go out to a location where they had previously collected nectar but find the source depleted, they do not immediately search the surrounding area for a new source

Interesting re the probiotics! AW

Well "pre"biotics, but yeah!

Ops, not so nice to learn to have lived to close to a biosecure breakdown...

[emo_snal]

Its okay, it was only bunnies, which are presumably not directly hazardous to myself

Interesting factoids. Thanks for the sharing the photo, also.

[emo_snal]

Prebiotics have been a big thing in paleo/keto world lately but I had not heard about them in honey yet!

[emo_snal]

Apparently it's a thing! And I think this research group was the first to look into it so makes senseone wouldn't have read about it before.

I second the paleo comment. I was not aware that honey contained them, though.

And ye prehistoric "cavemen" did indeed raid beehives! there's cave paintings portraying it.

Was that before or after they discovered smokers?
