We have often talked about the necessity of bees for our world. They pollinate our plants, allowing them to bloom. But this article describes another advantage bee products like honey do for us, they allow our cells to stay stronger, longer.
This telomere length in cells has to do with aging. The longer the telomere length, the longer your cells keep reproducing without errors, and the longer you live. https://www.tasciences.com/what-is-a-telomere.html
Additionally, from Connecting Consciousness, "Bee watching is a secretly miraculous meditation. As bees dance from flower to flower, absorbing the sun and distributing pollen along the way, the emit a healing frequency that reverses disease and promotes healing and emotional restoration. Our brain may not comprehend this, but our cells do. This is believed to be the reason why bee keepers have the longest life expectancy out of all professions."
It's really amazing how much bees help us and our world. Here's some more links.
