Combining the best of what’s in honey and cannabis?
If you’re interested in cannabis topics, you certainly know a few things about this plant. First and foremost, the popular CBD comes from industrial hemp. And after all, CBD, or cannabidiol, is the most important active ingredient in cannabis – which, moreover, has many wonderful properties!
There is no doubt that CBD has a soothing and relaxing effect, improves well-being, eliminates insomnia and improves sleep quality, and effectively counteracts oxidative stress.
And what if there was something that combined the wonderful properties of cannabidiol and honey? This could be hemp honey!
Beekeepers, or rather: honey producers, are trying to create new varieties of honey. Currently in stores you can find CBD honey – most often this is simply traditional honey with a small addition of cannabidiol, for example in the form of CBD oil.
Of course, such honey can also have positive properties – after all, CBD is really a fantastic active ingredient – but its amount is usually not very large.
Therefore, a very important question arises…
True hemp honey – does it exist?
Have you ever wondered what is really the most important ingredient of honey? Well, it is pollen. Interestingly, nowadays you can also buy pollen in jars. It is a true wealth of active ingredients valuable for health.
Substances found in pollen can support the body by providing it with vitamins and minerals. In addition, pollen has antibacterial and antifungal properties. This is precisely why honey works so well in the case of a cold.
It might seem that creating honey from cannabis is not possible. After all, cannabis sativa plants do not have nectar – and it is precisely from nectar that bees produce honey.
The answer to this question may be known by “Nicolas – Bee Trainer”. The man published a video online in which he informs that he managed to produce a fully natural honey, 100% from cannabis. It is worth knowing that Nicolas, from France, is not only a cannabis enthusiast but also a bee enthusiast.
The man repeatedly emphasized that he can persuade bees to perform specific actions – after all, he is a bee trainer.
But could Nicolas’s bees really have produced honey from cannabis? Hypothetically, this is possible – cannabis plants have resin, which can be used by bees to produce cannabis honey. It is enough to delve into the topic a bit to understand that if a carbohydrate source of energy appears in the bees’ diet, they can collect plant resin, and then proceed to produce honey from cannabis.
So, absolutely, it is possible – although of course the entire process still requires detailed analysis. Animal rights advocates may also have something to say here – work in the production of honey from cannabis resin cannabis seems to contradict the nature of bees.
Will we treat ourselves to cannabis honey in the future?
This is unlikely – although of course reality likes to surprise. Nicolas Bee Trainer surprised everyone with his concept, and for many people cannabis honey sounds like a dream come true. Whether in some time we will be able to enjoy ourselves with honey from cannabis, we will probably find out in the coming years.
For now, hemp companies, like Kombinat Konopny, are testing such possibilities. In the meantime, we have to content ourselves with honey with CBD addition or hemp tea with a bit of linden or buckwheat honey!
