Golden Harvest

It is aerodynamically impossible for a bee to fly… yet, it does!
Such an amazing feat a tiny critter that faces nary a defeat!
Industrious, gathering, creating, a golden harvest… buzz, buzz!
Each day the hive alive - Royal jelly for the queen; as to satiate!

Raw or processed (better raw) the golden miracle enhances the body
Internally, externally, - pity those who allergic cannot benefit
Surely, an engineer whose wisdom divine so did define, divine,
As the many derivatives; beneficial’s as vast as the sea

Come, share with me
Nature’s blessed bounty
This golden harvest
Reap nature’s generosity!

"Antimicrobial activity of honey against food pathogens and food spoilage microorganisms," Cornell University. This study investigated the antimicrobial activity of different types of honey against food pathogens and food spoilage microorganisms. The study showed that certain varieties of honey inhibited the growth of these organisms. Thus, incorporating some varieties of honey into foods could enhance the safety and shelf life of the products without the use of chemical preservatives.

    Hello.

    I have 'Myst' you. This is a nature lesson written up in verse!
    I agree: kill microbes with kindness, Honey!

    Your enthusiasm shines through as in:
    "Industrious, gathering, creating, a golden harvest… buzz, buzz!".
    Thank you for a lovely poem when I am on a heart diet. I licked up every word.
