So who here likes bees? I
for one hate them, it has nothing to do with the bee itself but just with the
simple fact that every time I have ever encountered one I was stung in some of
the most unfortunate places… which leads to my justified hate, but a study done
at Lund University has come to show the bees can be more than just a nascence,
they can be a possible alternative to antibiotics. Lund University in Sweden
found 13 lactic acid bacteria found in fresh honey, located in the in the bees
honey stomach. Why are these 13 lactic acid bacteria so important? Well its simple,
bees honey has been used against infections for millennium before we mass
produced and sold it in stores. But now we look at the agents these bacteria’s
contain and as the Lund University discovered bees honey can be used to help
several server human wound pathogens such as MRSA, VRE and more. So when you
see those little buggers remember they may sting you when bothered but there
honey will be the things helping you one of these days.
