Interesting? More like tired.
Haven't you seen this same story, dozens of times over the years? It has been going around social media for at least a decade. It's fake news, that's why there's no video clip, no link to evidence, no detail on the procedure. This whole article is almost impossible to understand, or to glean the intended meaning of the author. The images are taken from another Hive article by somebody else, and that article itself was just copied from google. Copy pasted junk.
"the procedure to elaborate his famous 'cannahoney' consists of training the bees to that collect the marijuana resin and use it in the hive. Then, the final substance is the natural work of these small insects."
Resin? The only resin on cannabis flowers is in the trichome heads. And resin doesn't produce honey, only nectar does, and cannabis does NOT have nectar.
It's fake news and needs to be called out as such. People could try doing this themselves to treat a medical condition, and end up eating plain honey, and not getting better, or worse. Fake news hurts people.
Cannahoney is made by infusing honey with cannabinoids. It's done in a kitchen. I've done it and so have thousands of other people who work with cannabis extracts and edibles. At the Vancouver 420 Farmers Market we had several vendors selling cannahoney. It's real medicine when done properly. "Training bees" has nothing to do with it.
If anyone is interested in a REAL way to use bees to make an infused honey-like product, check this out:
Bees can be fed an artificial nectar which is infused with cannabinoids. This nectar doesn't come from cannabis flowers. It's just a solution that has been infused with cannabinoids like THC and CBD. When the bees eat it (instead of real nectar from nearby flowers) the substance they spit back out has the cannabinoids in it. (It can't actually be called honey because honey is produced when bees eat nectar from real flowers. Chinese companies were recently caught selling "honey" in the USA and Canada that was just bee spit made from sugar water.)
Somebody could have made a post about that, but instead, we get yet another post about the fake "Nick Trainerbees" story that has been circulating since the early days of the internet.
Bees collect materials from tree sap and other natural sources in order to produce another product, called propolis. It's a waxy glue that they use to fill cracks around the hive.
It IS possible for bees to collect material from cannabis flowers, such as the waxy trichomes, and use that in making their propolis, which would then contain the cannabinoids. But propolis isn't edible by humans, and isn't produced in large quantities like wax and honey are.
Bees can eat plant pollen, including the pollen of cannabis plants, but this doesn't result in cannabinoids in their spit/honey.
Pollen doesn't have cannabinoids or terpenes in it.
As for the female cannabis plants in the photos taken from google? A fine spray of sugar water on cannabis flowers will have your bees climbing all over them in a frenzy. But they're after the sugar, not the female flowers.
There's more to it, but hopefully that starts to clear things up a little.
