Facial recognition:
A honeybee can recognize faces, and they even do it the same way we do using a technique
called configural processing, piecing together the components of a face — eyes, ears, nose
and mouth according to a report by The Journal of Experimental Biology.
Bee venom destroys HIV cells and more:
Scientists from Washington University School of Medicine reported nanoparticles containing bee
venom can destroy human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) while at the same time leaving surrounding
cells unharmed. Physicians have reported using bee venom to treat arthritic conditions, multiple
sclerosis, high blood pressure, asthma, hearing loss, and even premenstrual syndrome.
Honey used to sterilize wounds:
Doctors from the Honey Research Unit at the University of Waikato, New Zealand say that honey
is a very effective means of quickly rendering heavily infected wounds sterile, without the side
effects of antibiotics, and it is even effective against antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria.
Oldest honey found
Archaeologists claim that In ancient times, honey was packed for people's journeys into
the afterlife. In the country of Georgia, honey remains have been found on the inner surface
of clay vessels unearthed an ancient tomb, dating back some 4,700–5,500 years.
