I had the privilege to work for 26 years with these products, mainly on honey, at the Swiss Bee Research Centre, www.apis.admin.ch
The bees have chosen the hexagon as a building cell for their combs. One reason is that it is especially economic in regard to expenditure of energy and material and has a maximal strength, able to store heavy honey in it: a comb of 100 g weight can hold in it up to 4 kg of honey!
And may be also, because the bees want to show us, that they offer us six magic products: honey, pollen, royal jelly, propolis, beeswax and bee venom.
I would like to offer here some fascinating and useful facts on the “six magic things”.
This website was born in March 2008 and new information will be updated regularly, as many fascinating facts about the bee products remain to be discovered.
