The Science of Honey (and the Bees Who Make It) | What's Eating Dan?

Video Overview & Insights

Without bees, we wouldn't have sweet, sweet honey (and we probably wouldn't exist). Dan dives into how bees produce different honey varieties and his favorite ways to use it.

you can get all these physical properties from inverted sugar syrup, minus the floral flavour

To treat opioid addiction: take by mouth 1-10mg/day of healthy adult male facial skin surface lipid “paternal reward pheromone” until all symptoms resolve. There will be no withdrawal symptoms. Tare, collect by rubbing a vehicle (e.g. communion wafer, or stick of chewing gum) the 10mg of pheromone from any man’s face IMPORTANT! Avoid breathing or sniffing the odorless, colorless, tasteless volatiles arising from the sebaceous skin surface lipids. The aversive volatiles cause suspicion, distrust, persecution, oppression, and crucifixion. To avoid artificial jealousy in regular osculation partners, clean the mouth with 10-25ml of Listerine or wine.

USE FUME HOODS, ACTIVATED CHARCOAL-FILTERED RESPIRATORS, AND EXCELLENT VENTILATION!

Honey from basswood tree flowers tastes slightly minty. Honey from almond flowers tastes terrible to humans. 75% of all the bee hives in the US are trucked to the central valley of CA every spring to pollinate the almond crop. Specialized trucking companies that only haul bees do the transport on flatbed trucks with nets covering the hives.

That George W Bush gag was on point 😂. I see he listens to J Cole

@sairishi

As someone who grew up making struffoli you want ot make them a lot bigger than what's shown in the video because otherwise they're almost too hard to really eat. We made them about the size of a 3/8ths in ball bearing and what this does is give you a crunchy outside with a slightly fluffier cakey inside they're great.

A lot of European honeybees die for your honey. That's why it's not vegan. they make the hive entrances so small so they can collect bee pollen, that when the bees squeeze through and knock off the pollen basket on their hind legs, their legs get ripped off too. And many are squashed when the frames are removed or replaced. They compete with native solitary bee species.

@MarySanchez-qk3hp

Bumblebees are solitary bees. They don't make honey, they're just workaholics.

Is that “fool me once” bit a reference to George Bush?

'Fool me once' reference... 🤣🤣

8 billion? Pathetically small amount of money for the global economy which is 100 trillion.

Archaeologists have found 3000 year old, completely desiccated honey. They re-hydrated it and had it for lunch.

Dan, you're the bees' knees.

@AxelQC

Having been a beekeeper for almost 4 decades, I can say that the dance at the the end was a 1 to 1 on how my bee's do it. Great work everyone 👍

You should never cook or bake with honey you literally change it's makeup you destroy all of the really good enzymes for your stomach.

There was this series on Netflix called 'Rotten', one episode of which was about the seamier side of the honey business.; how a lot of supermarket honey comes from China where they adulterate it with vegetable oils - how beekeepers make extra money trucking their hives around to pollinate farmer's fields and orchards, and how sometimes hives are stolen. Who knew?
And, yes, honey doesn't go bad but it does go hard.

I love you Dan
....but can't see the recipe unless I join the club and I refuse to give my info and money! I've found that out with the other recipes offered....🙄🙄

Does anyone know much about Manuka honey? I have seen it in the health food stores but it's really expensive - I know they ship it from New Zealand which is probably part of the cost, but still, it's crazy expensive compared to local beekeeper honey and store-bought.

Was the J. Cole reference intentional? You repeated a quote he had at the end of no role modelz

I stayed for the waggle dance, I was not disappointed.

Was that a j cole reference? Or a bush reference? 😂

@SeouljahPride

I'm honey obsessed and have been hunting it for years. The best I've ever had is from a guy in Kauai. It's dark and the hives are surrounded by Java Plum & Mango trees. He refuses to use a centrifuge or even protective gear. He and his bees have a relationship and he hand scrapes the combs.

I like to put honey on ice cream and let it solidify. I've been doing that since before the people who invented TikTok were born.
