Investigate the therapeutic uses for propolis. It's serious medicine.

A friend who always suffered from hay fever allergies was cured in one
season by eating bee pollen. The wax is handy for lots of stuff too.

I think the stuff is blessed because bees work it all out by dancing.

I've thought of using honey as a cheaper (and more natural) alternative.

Honey is mostly plain sugar -- might as well have a Snickers.

Yeah; you'll also get some protein and fats with it, which are also
necessary.

Trouble is, they like to melt into a gooey puddle.

Date-nut loaf travels well. And you can even put honey
in it when you make it. Just can't whistle for awhile
after eating a couple of squares.

I'm the only person I know who likes buckwheat honey.

cheers,
Tom

OK Zoot how do I take honey on a ride, there seems to be a packaging
problem, and straight honey is very sweet, not good to take straight?

Maybe mix it with water? Solved the packaging problem, I did a
short ride with 1l water + 2 teaspoonfuls of honey. My stomach
didn't like it that much but I have to experiment more... could
be much better idea than just using sugar. Or even better than
maltodextrin?

Plastic squeeze bottles like a ketchup or mustard dispenser. Some
honeys already come packed in them.

Flattened round bottles like a glue dispenser or some toiletry
containers is a better shape for packing in a jersey. Find one that
fits a like dish-detergent bottle top or a large bore, flip-up spout.
Some empty sunscreen or hand cream tubes would be perfect if you can
get rid of the perfume.

I had some from Gerry. MEC has plastic food containers in the store.
I've not looked at any lately but there's all kinds of shops along
Broadway . One of 'em might even have honey flasks.

Cut it with lemon or lime juice if it's too sweet. A dash of bitters?
Tequila? I don't know, try different flavours.

Not in sufficient quantities to really make an issue of it unless
you're selling honey. There are scientific studies paid for by

I was talking about the Snickers, not the honey GGG.

Yeah, I figured that out too late to keep from looking illiterate.

I tagged a previously written response to Kevin onto your post when I
saw that you'd answered him without paying real attention to, or
addressing, what you'd said. Bad form.

Anyway, for candy snacks I prefer bars like Sweet Marie and Mr.Big
for filling a gap.

I've never heard of either of them, but have found that candy does not
work well for me in this application. I do better with something like
Quaker chewy granola bars or peanut butter crackers. I don't know for
sure why, but I guess it's because it's not so heavy on the chocolate,
and has some additional protein and fiber.

I gather "bonking" does not have the same meaning in American and British
English ...
