Honey has in its composition various minerals, vitamins and active principles that the plant transmits, through bees, honey and, through honey, to mankind. Raw honey is the medicine that nature has given us.

Worker bees of a certain age secrete beeswax from a series of exocrine glands on their abdomens. They use the wax to form the walls and caps of the comb. As with honey, beeswax is gathered by humans for various purposes such as candle making, waterproofing, soap and cosmetics manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, art, furniture polish and more.
