I sat down with my friend Eric Mason from Save the Bee to talk about just how crucial these insects are—pollinating one in every three bites of food we consume and 70% of agricultural crops—while a single worker bee produces a mere twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. In our conversation we uncover the alarming extent of honey adulteration and contamination with substances like glyphosate and neonicotinoids, which impact the bee's gut biome in ways that echo human health concerns. And you'll also understand the immense pressure industrial agriculture, like the almond industry's reliance on 88% of U.S. managed bees, puts on these creatures, turning pollination events into 'pathogen Super Bowls.' So this discussion will equip you to better identify genuine, beneficial honey, grasp the significance of a pesticide-free foraging radius for bees, and see why their well-being is a direct reflection of our planet's health.--- --- ---If you can't get fresh heart & liver in your diet, try our 100% grass-fed desiccated beef organs at Heart & Soil: https://shop.heartandsoil.co/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=Honey_EricMasonLooking for a healthy and delicious snack?
