I don't understand what the problem with the lice is anyway. What is the difference whether the pollen went first trough the lice and then trough the intestine of the bees or only trough the intestine of the bees. There is nothing wrong with this "lice" they are not filthy like the once living from the skin cells and blood of humans but drink the juice of plants and extract the sugar (like maple sirup). Devotees should be much more concerned of various fruit yoghurts, candies, lipsticks etc. which contain cochineal** red as an coloring agent. In Europe it has the E number 120 and is used extensively. > There is a honey, which produced on fields full of poisonous herbs, > so try to avoid it, consider this when buying honey, because it > can cause serious diseases. The herbs may be poisonous but the pollen which are used to make honey are not. The real danger is the extensive use of herbicides and pesticides on the fields which pollutes the honey. While fighting the Varoa mite, an small animal which can infest and destroy bee hives, bee-keepers sometimes use poisonous substances to control the pest. ___________ ** cochineal: A red dye made of the dried and pulverized bodies of female cochineal insects.

LOL! I can imagine the bees collecting honey from our heads. >The herbs may be poisonous but the pollen which are used to make honey are >not.

We don't consume pollen, it's a food for bees. Honey is made of nectar. I also had another source of information, which confirmed several accidents by honey poisoning. It's not so common, but if your area is full of these herbs, it can cause a disease. Or in better case, you honey may be spoiled by disgusting taste. Sorry, I cannot quote it, I just remeber it in the corners of my memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
