I was bearing down HARD, the drill bit slipped off the wood and went THROUGH the meaty part of my left index finger. It bled enough that I considered an emergency room visit. But the shelves needed building and emergency rooms typically take the rest of the day and sometimes into the next one..... So I ran inside, washed it, slathered a bandaid with manuka honey (well known for its excellent antimicrobial properties), and slapped it on the wounds, added another bandaid to catch the drips and went back to work. I noticed a tiny bit of swelling that evening, gone the next day. A day later the entrance wound had scabbed over. Within a week the exit wound had scabbed over. Within two weeks there was nothing left but a tiny scar at the entrance wound that I couldn't see even with my reading glasses, but my teenage kids could. No redness or infection, hardly any swelling or pain, remarkably quick healing. Had I gotten a stitch or two I'm sure I wouldn't even have a scar. As it is, only sharp young eyes can see it. Honey has neosporin beat hands-down. Bee well always, Landi A HONEY HEALING STORY FROM LANDI – the ‘Bee lady’ (mentioned in story above)

Did I tell you about the time last fall when I was building some shelves for my little bee-hauling trailer, and was screwing them together using my cordless drill. I was bearing down HARD, the drill bit slipped off the wood and went THROUGH the meaty part of my left index finger. It bled enough that I considered an emergency room visit. But the shelves needed building and emergency rooms typically take
the rest of the day and sometimes into the next one…..

So I ran inside, washed it, slathered a bandaid with manuka honey (well known for its excellent antimicrobial properties), and slapped it on the
wounds, added another bandaid to catch the drips and went back to work.

I am taking on the keeping of a hive for the first time and hope to learn a lot more about honey bees and how to help them. I'll be planting a lot of those helpful plants too. By the way, did you know that the Bradford Pear is now on the list of invasives from overplanting in urban environments? Crazy! Great post!

I am a honey ho and eat it every day. On yogurt, in tea, by the spoonful out of the jar. I might smear some on my 2 week old tattoo to help it finish healing.
