If there's one natural food (aka can be eaten raw) that I absolutely love, it's honey. Yes, there are countless varieties from around the world, but for this story, we'll talk about the kind that comes straight out of a hive, complete with honeycomb. I'm not an expert on this topic, but every time I consume raw, unprocessed honey, it tastes a lot better compared to honey that comes in a jar. No squeeze-bottle honey for me, please. Perhaps it's just my imagination, but raw honey doesn't leave me with that cloyingly sweet taste that seems to go on forever. I love it when it's paired with toast with slices of butter or with Greek yoghurt with granola on the side. Admittedly, I get drawn to drinks with honey, too. Lots of bubble tea shops sell a version of 'green tea with honey', and I always find this hard to resist. I must constantly remind myself to save the calories for the actual honey with honeycomb that I prefer. Now, apart from the lovely viscous food itself, I'm also fascinated (but only a little disturbed) by how it's produced by thousands of honeybees. The process is intriguing. Each honeybee carries a little nectar back to its hive before digesting it to break it down into simple sugars and regurgitating the product into an individual honeycomb. For the honey to become viscous and gooey, the bees use their wings to fan the honeycomb to heat it and reduce the moisture content. Yes, honey is regurgitated nectar (eww), yet it's delectable and delicious. Another interesting fact is that honey is also food for the bees. So, when beekeepers harvest it, they ensure to leave enough so that the colony survives to make more honey. Fascinating. – Jeremy (Main image: Benyamin Bohlouli, Unsplash)

anyone taking Royal Jelly with Bee Pollen? apparently, it contains good natural nutrients for overall well-being, except for those who are asthmatic or allergic to honey. thinking of trying it out...but not sure if taking it in capsule or raw form is more beneficial. also, if you are taking, what brands or what stores in Singapore you are buying from?

Recently having these brown and black speckles on my car. Not sure what it is but they look like pollen from plants or sumthing like that. I normally wash my car with sponge and car shampoo and the speckles would remain on the vehicle even after wash. Normally i use my nails to remove them which is quite a hassle. Im quite sure polishing will do the job but i don think its a gd idea to polish every week right? I have seen this armorall bug and tar gel off the shelves, any bros tried it before? Also, i haven used a clay bar before, but would a clay bar be able to remove the speckles? Any gd ones to recommend? Thanks all in advance.

Just got my pollen filter changed after 20,000 km. Was shocked to see the condition of the used filter. I use the fresh air vent quite often ( 20% ) ! It is no wonder the Service Advisor recommended the change ! CBX

Last Saturday, visited XinZhong and got myself a pollen filter to DIY. Read owner's manual and it seemed easy. The truth is it is not. I couldn't even get pass the plenum cover, i.e. the plastic cover and seal that goes partially over the windscreen . Anyone here has done self replacement of pollen filter before? Please help. Thanks.
