There are few food combinations closer to the source and local than avocados mixed with honey produced from the blossoms of the exact same avocado trees... #avocadoes#honey#food#beekeeping
There's generally a couple of very large, ripe avocados that have fallen near our hives in avocado orchards. The growers tell us the avocados are 30-50% larger near hives (they LOVE beehives for that reason). However, pickers will not pick the avocados very close to the hive, so... there's always a few that have fallen off a nearby tree in the hive zone. I've gone as far as snagging some honeycomb from a hive and dropping it into a ripe avocado, and there's lunch! #avocados#honey#beekeeping
@ai6yr I had a friend who had terrible allergies. living in a very floral, arboreal area, he suffered terribly. His wife started giving him a teaspoon of local honey every day, for a year. The allergies went away! After 10 years, he quit eating the honey (the apiary on their property lost its keeper to sudden death)… and within 6 months, the allergies were back.
@Catawu I believe this, as my allergies have decreased massively since starting to eat the honey we harvest. Except stuff that blooms at night, the honey doesn't help. (bees don't collect pollen from night blooming plants).
