With the exception of water and sunlight, nothing could be more natural for your garden than earthworm castings. Not steer manure, not chicken manure, not even fish emulsion is as natural for your garden as earthworm castings! After all, when digging in your garden have you ever found a live cow, chicken, or fish? No, what you do find are live worms. Mother Nature created the mighty worm about 570 million years ago to care for her plant life by caring for the soil. As the earthworm eats its way through the soil, it takes in bits of soil and rotting or decaying plants (organic matter).
And what comes out is the richest food your plants will ever find, yet will not burn a plant! Earthworms have the unique ability to increase the amount of nutrients and minerals in the soil by as much as 10 times the value of the plant debris there. These minerals and nutrients are properly conditioned for the best root growth and lush plant growth – plus it’s odor free!
Why Gardeners  Use Worm Casting .
 
One of the biggest challenges they face is trying to identify the perfect plant food. While it's often been overlooked, because it's somewhat difficult to find, worm castings are proving to be the ideal soil supplement for Plants.
Many gardeners  have found that it shortens the germination cycle for new plants, increases yield on their crop overall, and does it all while protecting the plants from disease. As if that wasn't enough, worm castings are also chemical-free. This makes it an especially attractive option for organic growers, specifically.

Currently, many researchers have reported the antibacterial activity of honey and found that natural unheated honey has some broad-spectrum antibacterial activity when tested against pathogenic bacteria, oral bacteria as well as food spoilage bacteria In most ancient cultures honey has been used for both nutritional and medical purposes.
Indeed, medicinal importance of honey has been documented in the world's oldest medical literature, and since the ancient times, it has been known to possess antimicrobial property.

 Antimicrobial agents are essentially important in reducing the global burden of infectious diseases. However, as resistant pathogens develop and spread, the effectiveness of the antibiotics is diminished. This type of bacterial resistance to the antimicrobial agents poses a very serious threat to public health, and for all kinds of antibiotics, including the major last-resort drugs, the frequencies of resistance are increasing worldwide. Therefore, alternative antimicrobial strategies are urgently needed, and thus this situation has led to a re-evaluation of the therapeutic use of ancient remedies, such as plants and plant-based products, including honey.

FARMS' TOXIC COCKTAILS YIELD CROPS, SURPRISES

When pilot Robert Coffey flew across Florida, just above treetop level checking on telephone lines for a phone company in the 1980s, pesticides would drip from the wings of his airplane at the end of the day.

The sticky spray came from flying over citrus groves. Clouds of chemicals rising from the fields covered the aircraft with a fine, toxic mist.

"It was so thick it came off in globs," said Coffey, 72, of Winter Park.

The residue that dripped from Coffey's plane was the proverbial drop in a bucket of chemicals - a huge bucket - that Florida farmers employ every year to ward off insects and disease from their crops.

WE DO NOT SELL ORANGE BLOSSOM HONEY FOR THAT REASON.

 3 GENERATIONS OF PRODUCING HONEY AT ITS FINEST..
 Local Raw Wilderness  Honey for sale in Tampa

Our Tampa Local Wilderness  Honey is as it comes from the Bee Hive , which means it retains all of the beneficial nutrients and antioxidants that it naturally contains. Conversely, regular honey may undergo a variety of processing, which may remove beneficial nutrients like pollen and reduce its level of antioxidants.
                                                                    Tampa Gold  Raw Local Wilderness  Honey is made by bees that have collected nectar from a local source . The taste and composition of Exceptional Raw Honey can vary depending upon the variety of flowers in bloom at the time the honey is made.

WE ONLY SELL RAW Local Tampa Wilderness  HONEY
 WE NEVER FEED OUR BEES SUGAR WATER, HONEY IS LEFT IN THE HIVE FOR THEM TO SURVIVE.

FEEDING SUGAR  WATER IS NOT A REAL SOURCE, LIKE THE NECTAR THEY BRING IN FROM FLOWERS

NOTHING IS ADDED TO THE HONEY

 Why not state or have our Honey certified ORGANIC.

1 . FIRST OF ALL NO BEE KEEPER IS AWARE OF THE TRAVELS OF EACH BEE.

2 . Any USA Certified Organic honey sold in the United States is imported from other countries and certified organic by that country. ... A US beekeeper can have non-certified organic honey that is raised organically. But it is nearly impossible to produce organic honey.

3. Currently, to be certified organic, honey must meet the general USDA organic standards. But there aren't yet requirements specific to honey. USDA does have recommended guidelines, but an actual organic standard for honey has been in the works since 2001.
 
ONE SIGN THE HONEY YOU ARE BUYING IS STATED IT IS ORGANIC . IT IS FAKE

Honey is one of the most faked foods in the world, and the US government isn't doing much to fix it.  https://www.businessinsider.com/fake-honey-problems-how-it-works-2020-9

 

Most Honey in America Is Fake.https://www.wellandgood.com/fake-honey-problem/

Why we do not sell Bee Pollen and Royal Jelly .

Trapping pollen has the potential to inflict significant nutritional stress on the colony.  Collecting it may adversely affect the health of the bees and even destroy the colony. 

The truth about Royal Jelly,  well-managed hive during a season of 5–6 months can produce approximately 500 g (18 oz) of royal jelly, also

Collecting it may adversely affect the health of the bees and even destroy the colony

 

 

The Manuka Honey Scandal

 Manuka honey is often touted as a “superfood,  fact is that is no better than any other REAL HONEY.

 But with more being sold than is actually produced, is there some dodgy dealing going on?

 

Science or Snake Oil: is manuka honey really a ‘superfood’ for treating colds, allergies and infections? Claims are nonsense.

 According to recent studies and reports, a

 

 significant portion of Manuka honey on the

market is considered fake,

 

 with investigations revealing that nearly half of tested samples may be adulterated with sugars, particularly when not sourced from New Zealand and lacking proper certification, indicating a high rate of fraudulent Manuka honey products.

 REAL Honey HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE NO DIFFERENT FROM MANUKA HONEY

 REAL HONEY used as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial agent. People commonly use honey orally to treat coughs and topically to treat burns and promote wound healing.

 

 

 While honey sticks can be a convenient way to consume honey, some argue they are not "good" because they often contain a larger portion of sugar than traditional honey, can be less environmentally friendly due to the packaging, and might not always guarantee high-quality honey depending on the brand, potentially leading to concerns about purity and taste.

Packaging waste:
The individual packaging of honey sticks can contribute to more plastic waste compared to buying honey in a larger container. 
 
• Quality concerns:

  Some brands might use lower quality honey in their honey sticks, which could impact taste and nutritional value

New Tampa Patch 

By Tristram DeRoma 

The Story Behind the Eye-Catching Art at I-75 Exit 266 Tampa Florida

Key West Lobster Buoy artist Joe Brown, better known as "Hong Kong Willie," makes art with a message at his home/studio near I-75 Exit 266 Tampa Florida.

 

Sometimes, it’s the smallest experiences that have the biggest impact on a person’s life.
While attending an art class in 1958 at the age of 8, Tampa folk artist Joe Brown recalled being mesmerized by the lesson. It involved transforming a Gerber baby bottle into a piece of art.
“The Gerber bottle had no intrinsic value at all,” he said. “But when (the instructor) got through with me that day, she made me see how something so (valueless) can be valuable.”
By the time class was over, Brown learned many other lessons, too, such as the importance of volunteerism, recycling, reuse and giving back to the community. He recalled being impressed by the teacher's volunteer work in Hiroshima, Japan, helping atomic bomb survivors.
"One of the last words she ever spoke to me about that was, ‘When I left, I left out of Hong Kong,’ ” he said. After turning that over in his young brain for awhile, he decided to use it in a nickname, adding the name “Willie” a year later.
You've probably seen Hong Kong Willie's eye-catching home/gallery/studio at Fletcher Avenue and Interstate 75. But what is the story of the man behind all those buoys and discarded objects turned into art?
Brown practiced his creative skills through his younger years. But as an adult, he managed to amass a small fortune working in the materials management industry. By the the '80s, he left the business world and decided to concentrate on his art. He spent some years in the Florida Keys honing his craft and building his reputation as a folk artist. He also bought some land in Tampa near Morris Bridge Road and Fletcher Avenue where he and his family still call home.
Brown purchased the land just after the entrances and exits to I-75 were built. He said he was once offered more than $1 million for the land by a restaurant. He turned it down, he said, preferring instead to make part of the property into a studio and gallery for the creations he and his family put together.
And all of it is made of what most people would consider “trash.” Pieces of driftwood, burlap bags, doll heads, rope — anything that comes Brown’s way becomes part of his vocabulary of expression, and, in turn, becomes something else, which makes a tour of his property somewhat of a visual adventure. What at first seems like a random menagerie of glass, driftwood and pottery suddenly comes together in one's brain to form something completely different. One moment nothing, the next a powerful statement about 9/11.
One Man's Trash ...
Trash? There is no such thing, Brown seems to say through his art.
He keeps a blog about his art at hongkongwillie.blogspot.com..
In his shop, he has fashioned many smaller items out of driftwood, burlap bags and other materials into signs, purses, totes, bird feeder hangars and yard sculptures.
He sells a lot to the regular influx of University of South Florida parents and students every year who are are at first intrigued by the “buoy tree” and the odd-looking building they see as they take Exit 266 off I-75.

Of course, many people also stop by to buy the smaller pieces of art that he and his family create: purses made of burlap, welcome signs made of driftwood, planters and other items lining the walls of his store.
He’s also helped put his mark on the decor of local establishments too, such as Gaspar’s Patio, 8448 N. 56th st.
Owner Jimmy Ciaccio said that when it came time to redecorate the restaurant several years ago, there was only one person to call for the assignment, and that was his good friend Brown.
"I’ve known Joe all my life, and we always had a good chemistry together,” Ciaccio said. "He’s very creative and fun to be around, and that’s how it all came about.”
Ciaccio says he still gets compliments all the time for the restaurant’s atmosphere he created using the “trash” supplied by Brown. He describes the style as a day at the beach, like a visit to Old Key West. “They’re so inspired, they want to decorate their own homes this way,” he said.
It’s that kind of testimony that makes Brown feel good, knowing that others, too, are inspired to create instead of throw away when they see his work. He simply lets his work speak for itself.
“Somebody once told me to keep telling the story and they will keep coming," he said, "and they always do."
