Honey: Anti-Wrinkle Cosmetics

Honey has really been favored as an anti-aging recently by many cosmetic companies. In fact, some Asians countries used honey like a lotion or cleanser during facial spa treatment.

New York-based skin care manufacturer introduces their first cosmetic product, an anti-aging system containing their signature ingredient, Manuka Honey.

It has been discovered that high doses of healing nutrients found in this honey such as B-vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, minerals and enzymes play a key role in reversing cell damage and aging.

Free radicals damage collagen fibers responsible for keeping skin firm and tight.
In addition to Manuka Honey, Honeymark's Anti-Wrinkle Serum contains other valuable anti-aging ingredients, such as Matrixyl, Retinol and Collagen.

Retinol also increases skin cell turnover and exfoliation, drastically reducing age spots and blotches on the skin.

It stimulates the formation of new collagen fibrils, leading to skin regeneration.


Honey is really very useful.

Tasting Honey Like Tasting Wine

Brookfield Farm is now bringing together the honeys made by five local beekeepers, and offering them all at its booth at the Washington Specialty Honeys.

The idea came with the thought that consumers would be interested in the diversity of natural flavors produced by smaller apiaries,

Tasting honey (is) like wine tasting, each apiary's honey is a unique taste that changes from year to year depending on the flowers and the weather.

I never thought of this before that tasting honey is just like wine tasting. Well---actually I love wine too the way I love honey.

Nevertheless, it will be great to have a chance to taste different honey makers' products.

Honey is really beneficial to our health.

Breading Cleaner Bees to Protect Hives

It is always good to be grateful to scientist who can help keep honeybees to produce honey. I just love honey.

A British scientist is hoping to reverse the critical decline of the honeybee by breeding cleaner bees to protect hives from potentially devastating diseases.

Francis Ratnieks, the UK's only professor of apiculture, is undertaking pioneering research based on a breed of worker bee genetically programmed to keep hives clean.

Ratnieks's research concentrates on breeding queens from the same father line as the most hygienic worker bees.

These eggs turn into baby mites.

Stuart Bailey, chairman of Rowse Honey, is committing £100,000 to the project.

We totally support the British Beekeepers' Association campaign for £8m emergency funding from Defra over the next five years.

Honey, honey, honey... all but honey.
