Without bees, we wouldn’t have sweet, sweet honey (and we probably wouldn’t exist). Dan dives into how bees produce different honey varieties and his favorite ways to use it.

Having been a beekeeper for almost 4 decades, I can say that the dance at the the end was a 1 to 1 on how my bee's do it. Great work everyone 👍
You should never cook or bake with honey you literally change it's makeup you destroy all of the really good enzymes for your stomach.
And they say there is no God! Wow He's amazing.!! Thank you Jesus.. look in Genesis.

I’ve been watching too many lore videos on Tolkiens works because I heard Maiar honey and Sauron steak 😂
Funny, informative, and cute.
Excellent waggle dance!
Star thistle honey is my favorite.
So glad this thumbnail isn’t a picture of Dan with vials of urine
There was this series on Netflix called 'Rotten', one episode of which was about the seamier side of the honey business.; how a lot of supermarket honey comes from China where they adulterate it with vegetable oils – how beekeepers make extra money trucking their hives around to pollinate farmer's fields and orchards, and how sometimes hives are stolen. Who knew?
And, yes, honey doesn't go bad but it does go hard.
I love you Dan
….but can't see the recipe unless I join the club and I refuse to give my info and money! I've found that out with the other recipes offered….🙄🙄

Does anyone know much about Manuka honey? I have seen it in the health food stores but it's really expensive – I know they ship it from New Zealand which is probably part of the cost, but still, it's crazy expensive compared to local beekeeper honey and store-bought.
Was the J. Cole reference intentional? You repeated a quote he had at the end of no role modelz
I stayed for the waggle dance, I was not disappointed.
Fool me can’t get fooled again 😂😂😂
Was that a j cole reference? Or a bush reference? 😂
I'm honey obsessed and have been hunting it for years. The best I've ever had is from a guy in Kauai. It's dark and the hives are surrounded by Java Plum & Mango trees. He refuses to use a centrifuge or even protective gear. He and his bees have a relationship and he hand scrapes the combs.
I like to put honey on ice cream and let it solidify. I've been doing that since before the people who invented TikTok were born.
And this all just came about…..by chance??? 🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you, honey 🍯
Hi..can I have your permission to using this video for education purpose ? Thank you
Yes, bees pollinate marijuana. Apparently, pot honey doesn't taste very good.
My family makes struffoli every year for Christmas! Although we roll out the dough and use a pasta cutter to make small diamonds (parallelograms really). We add honey and nonpareils and give batches out to friends and family. 😊
Ants. Beetles. Wasps.
There are many pollinators.
We just eat things we need bees for. Which is ok. Probably.
I worked one fall for a local bee keeper and it wasn’t until then that I realized how magnificent the taste is of unmolested Honey. He allowed us to have a scoop off of the combs whenever we felt like it while we were processing and the taste was utterly out of this world. At least compared to store-bought honey. He was a small supplier for a popular Honey producer, provider. But he allowed us to have some that only was warmed so it would flow better, so therefore we got natural honey and I’ve been spoiled ever since.
I have lived multiple places and somewhere along the line someone discussed that it was best to buy locally where you live because the helpful properties of the honey are locally harvested and those are the nutrients you need for your immune system. Buying at the farmers market is an excellent idea but where I live now is in the same area where I learned these things initially and there are several local apiaries that you can still purchase honey from. And some of the local health food stores also carry local honey.
why the hell does youtube never recommend these damn episodes when they're released? I watch EVERY SINGLE ONE.
