Manuka UMF® honey from New Zealand has become one of the most sought-after floral honeys, recognized internationally for its unique antimicrobial properties. In fact, Manuka honey is unique in that it contains antimicrobial compounds that are not found in any other floral honey. This uniqueness has led to the development of a testing regime to certify the concentration of these compounds known as "unique manuka factor" or UMF®. The BeeNZ LTD company produces UMF-certified New Zealand manuka honey, which is the certification that guarantees the three key elements for manuka honey's antibacterial action. These elements are: the DHA (didroxyacetone) which is a substance found in the manuka flower; the bee going on this flower transfers this compound into the honey, which through enzymes produced by the bee will be naturally transformed into MGO (methylglyoxal). the content of MGO expressed in myriagrams per kg (mg/kg) of methylglyoxal, with a minimum of 83 mg/kg up to a maximum of 829 mg/kg. the minimum content of LEPTOSINE which simply translated is the pollen exclusive to the MANUKA flower which must be a minimum of 70% of the total in the jar. This began in the late 1980s when a range of floral honeys began to be tested in laboratories at the University of Waikato in New Zealand and it was discovered that honey derived from Manuka plant species had remarkable antimicrobial properties. It was shown that while all honey contained an enzyme called glucose oxidase that itself has an antimicrobial effect when glucose oxidase releases hydrogen peroxide in the presence of body serum, however, Manuka honey had something extra that when glucose oxidase was removed it still had potent antimicrobial properties. This factor was described as non-peroxide activity, later known as "unique manuka factor" or UMF®. It was only many years later that the compound responsible for this unique antimicrobial factor was identified as methylglyoxal. While it was known that nectar collected from the Manuka species produced honey containing methylglyoxal, it was also discovered that there was wide variation in the concentration of methylglyoxal in Manuka honey samples from different regions, seasons, and density of Manuka plants in a given location. Once methylglyoxal was identified as the main compound that contributed to the antimicrobial level of Manuka honey, questions remained about its source since it was not present in the nectar of Manuka flowers. Research continued and it was shown that the methylglyoxal in New Zealand Manuka honey comes from the chemical compound dihydroxyacetone (DHA). When Manuka honey is produced fresh by bees, it contains high levels of dihydroxyacetone and low levels of methylglyoxal; this gradually reverses when naturally occurring proteins and amino acids gradually convert dihydroxyacetone to methylglyoxal. It was therefore necessary to create a measurement and certification system to quantify the antimicrobial efficacy of Manuka honey thus developing the measurement of this honey, known as the "unique manuka factor" or UMF®. The method used is to compare individual honey samples in a colony of bacteria with a known concentration of phenol, a common antiseptic used in the medical industry. By comparing the antimicrobial efficacy of Manuka honey samples with a concentration of phenol, Manuka honey has a classification that guarantees its efficacy. For example, a Manuka honey sample that had the same antimicrobial effect as 15% phenol concentration is certified as UMF® 15+. Manuka UMF honey in which an index higher than UMF®10 is detected is considered active, but laboratory studies have shown that Manuka honey having non-peroxide activity levels of UMF® 15, UMF® 20 or higher is indeed active on a wide range of bacteria.Several international studies have demonstrated the active action of Manuka UMF® honey in combating bacterial strains. Manuka UMF® honey is an extraordinary product, its unique value stemming from the presence of compounds such as hydrogen peroxide, the high level of methylglyoxal expressed in terms of UMF®, along with antioxidants, polyphenols, phenolic acids, flavonoids and bee substances, all of which are vital to our health.

It is made to cage the swarm and transport it, thus avoiding the possibility of suffocation. The side walls of the Nucleus hive are made of mesh to allow for greater aeration, while the front and back are made of wood to make it durable and long-lasting.The cover is hermetically sealed by means of two hooks in order to prevent the bees from escaping during transport.There is the option of having two polystyrene side walls that are applied, quickly and functionally, on the mesh walls in order to allow the nucleus to spend a medium/long period of time inside the hive.

To make your own beeswax candle you will need: - a silicone mold- a wick of appropriate thickness- a rubber band- a toothpick- silicone (Spray) - optional 1) Preparing the mold:We recommend spraying the mold inside with silicone spray which will make it easier to remove the candle at the end of the process. Insert the wick in the center from the bottom and pop it out from the top. Secure the mold with rubber bands to keep it tightly closed. Tie a wick to the toothpick and rest the latter on the top edge. 2) Fill the mold ocn the wax: Melt the wax in a preferably enameled pot, pour it into the mold when it has reached a temperature of 50°C. Pour it slowly into the mold. The time for the wax to solidify depends on the size of the mold and the amount of wax used. 3) Take the candle out of the mold:When the wax is cold, remove the rubber bands, open the mold and take out the candle. Remove the toothpick and cut the wick at the base of the candle, while on the top leave the wick 1 cm long. Spray the candle with silicone spray to give it shine.

Abbot Warré created and disseminated a simplified method of beekeeping, the subject of this book, that could work for everyone, so that everyone could produce their honey needs, and to spread bees as widely as possible, because the world needs them for pollination. His is the Beehive that most respects what the bee accomplishes in nature: in it the bees can build honeycombs starting from the top and continuing their work downward; it has the shape that roughly its natural shelter, the trunk of a tree, would have; it respects the normal airflow that there is in the natural Beehive.

The percentage of laurel determines its greater value; there are soaps that contain from 4% to 60% laurel oil. For particularly sensitive skin, it is advisable to use the soap with a lower percentage of laurel. Used on the face it cleanses and thoroughly cleanses the skin and removes impurities, since laurel is a can antibacterial, but at the same time you do not risk drying out the epidermis because thanks to its composition it is a very gentle cleanser. Suitable and effective for those with oily or impure skin because it has an important balancing function, and it is an excellent ally in case of skin problems such as acne and psoriasis. The benefits of this soap do not end there, however, in fact it has soothing properties, making it a very useful product for hair removal and shaving.It has anti-allergic, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and nourishing properties.
