Someone Figured Out How To Train Bees To Make Honey From Marijuana




(CCN) Many are calling him a genius. The man is an artisan, locksmith and above all else, he explains, he is a beekeeper. He has over 4300 Facebook followers and 700 on Instagram after the 39-year-old Frenchman, who describes himself as an advocate of medical cannabis and of complete cannabis legalization, trained bees to make honey from cannabis.
He goes by the nickname of Nicolas Trainerbees, for obvious reasons. For 20 years, he has worked with bees in a way where he claims he is able to “train” them to make honey from virtually anything.
“I have trained bees to do several things, such as collect sugar from fruits, instead of using flowers,” he explains.
Nicholas says he has “been passionate about nature since childhood,” which led him to this profession that mixes his love for plant life with his love for animals – especially insects.
Nicholas calls the cannabis-honey produced by the bees “cannahoney” from “a training technique whereby the bees collect the resin and use it in the beehive.”
The final substance, he explains, is the sole work of the bees. “For some time I had known about the health benefits of bee products such as honey, propolis, pollen, wax and royal jelly and also about the benefits of cannabis,” and so he decided to take notice of the requests, he explains.
Add to that the fact that “everything that passes through the body of a bee is improved,” he said, since their enzymes make the nectar turn into honey.
“So if the bee took the resin from cannabis it would also be very beneficial.” “The aim arose for me to get the bees to obtain this resin,” he added. The “cannahoney” has “quite a floral” aroma and a color, he explains. It “is not smoked, it is ingested and it is good for health,” he adds. Nicolas says that “the bees accept any strain.”
So do the bees get high off of the cannabis they make the honey from?
“The bees that produce the cannahoney are not affected by cannabinoids because they do not have an endocannabinoid system,” he says. It’s just another form of food for them.

To Save The Bees, Morgan Freeman Converted His 124-Acre Ranch Into A Bee Sanctuary


Great work Morgan Freeman!


 by Amanda Froelich via EWAO 

Morgan Freeman is one of those celebrities who is adored by both the young and old. An actor, filmmaker, and director, he’s known for many roles, but now is also being celebrated for his participation in helping to revive the bee population.

As shared a while ago by MNN, Freeman is so concerned about the bee die-off epidemic that the’s converted his 124-acre ranch into a sanctuary for the bumbling insects.

It was during a media tour for the film “Lucy” that Freeman explained the reason behind his decision to build his own apiary. He said, “I just received, two weeks ago, 26 hives of bees, so I’m very busy… I’m beekeeping…”

 Recognizing that bees play an integral part in the maintenance of our ecosystem, Morgan stated:

    "There's a concerted effort to bring bees back onto the planet ... We do not realize that they are the foundation, I think, of the growth of the planet, the vegetation... I have so many flowering things and I have a gardener too. Because she takes care of the bees too, all she does is figure out, 'OK, what would they like to have?', so we've got acres and acres of clover, we're planting stuff like lavender, I've got like, maybe 140 magnolia trees, big blossoms," he adds.

    "I've not ever used [the beekeeping hat] with my bees," he says. "They haven't (stung me) yet, because right now I'm not trying to harvest honey or anything, I'm just feeding them... I think they understand, 'Hey, don't bother this guy, he's got sugar water here.”

Watch the clip below which features Morgan Freeman and Jimmy Fallon joking about Freeman’s new occupation:


You now have one more reason to love Morgan Freeman. (But really, did you need one?)
