honey

You must have wondered how people in the past handled things for which we have technology today. A washing machine? Well, we've seen pics how people washed clothes in the river? Cellphones? Well, there were phone booths, and way before that, there were... letters. But have you ever thought about how beekeepers used to handle their bees before they got their fancy outfits?

Apparently, tumblr users have indeed wondered about it, and the answer is they handled them with baskets on their faces. And after reading this, we want to say thank you to tumblr for both informing us of cool facts and mildly scaring us and giving us nightmares. 

Once a week, we will be featuring an extraordinary animal account on Instagram! Their story, the adorable pictures, and pawesome videos! This week's spotlight goes to that cat, Honey! 

You may recognize our weekly spotlight starlet from a viral video that took over the internet! Well, that lovely lady's name is Honey and she's just as sweet as her name. 

Be sure to turn your sound on for these videos -- it's worth it. 

Tumblr user, despazito, couldn't wrap their head around vegan eating preferences and asked, "Vegans who refuse to even eat backyard eggs....why"

What are your thoughts?

If you can't beat 'em -- join 'em! Or something along those lines...

Meet Ibrahim Sedef, an agricultural engineer, living in Trabzon, Turkey. Sedef works in beekeeping, and has been having a problem lately protecting that precious and delicious honey from all the bears in his area. Through various different attempts, the bears kept finding ways to reach the hives. It seemed like there was nothing he could do to protect the hives from the lickerish bears... until he came up with a creative way to make the best out of this situation. 

Turn the bears into test tasters.

Important information in this Tumblr thread! With the decline in bee populations around the world, it's important for everyone to step up and help in any way they can! In this case, buying honey from local farms!
