beehive
Alias: beehive, hornet's nest, beehive, wild beehive, yellow beehive.
Introduction: The place where bees live and breed is composed of nests and spleens. The space of the nests and spleens in the hive is parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground, and the distance between the nests and spleens is 7 ~ 10 mm, which is called bee path. Each nest spleen consists of thousands of nests, which are built by worker bees with beeswax secreted by their wax glands. Large and small hexagonal nests are used to cultivate drones and worker bees respectively, and there are three diamond-shaped faces at the bottom. The nest room for cultivating queen bees is called queen bee platform, which looks like drooping peanuts. It is temporarily built by the bees before the bees are divided, mostly in the lower part and corner of the nest spleen. There is an irregular transition nest between the drone house and the worker house, as well as the joint between the nest spleen and the nest frame, which is used to store honey and strengthen the nest spleen.
Season: it can be harvested all year round, but it is often harvested in autumn and winter.
Efficacy and function of beehive
Old beehives are effective in treating hepatitis, rhinitis, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases. Studies have shown that honeycomb preparation can promote the cellular immune function of the body.
Honeycombs also have high medicinal value, and fresh and clean honeycombs are often used to treat rhinitis. Old beehives are effective in treating hepatitis, rhinitis, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases. Studies have shown that honeycomb preparation can promote the cellular immune function of the body, and honeycomb extract not only inactivates hepatitis B surface antigen, but also has a strong inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Shigella, Typhoid Bacillus and Proteus vulgaris. It also has inhibitory effects on Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium solani, Leuconostoc and other fungi. The chemical composition of honeycomb is very complex, mainly containing beeswax, resin, oil, pigment, tannin, sugar, organic acids, fatty acids, glycosides, enzymes, insect hormones and so on.
Honey contains a lot of nutrients, and honeycomb is rich in hormones and vitamins, which is the first choice for regulating endocrine and nourishing the body. Take 5g of honeycomb and add honey powder (wild bee is the best), decoct in boiling water or chew directly, three times a day for 2-3 months, which has obvious curative effect on allergic rhinitis. Long-term use can gradually cure allergic rhinitis.
Beeswax is sweet, light and flat, and has the effects of detoxification, granulation and pain relief. Can be used for treating diarrhea, purulent blood and chronic diarrhea. Li Shizhen said: "Honey has a strong smell, so it nourishes the spleen. The smell of wax is thin, so it nourishes the stomach. Thick taste is sweet and slow, so it moistens the viscera. Thin people are light in taste and strong in nature, so they stop diarrhea.
How to choose a beehive
Disc-shaped or irregular flat blocks, some like Lotus House, with different sizes. The surface is grayish white or grayish brown. There are many regular hexagonal cavities on the ventral surface, with the aperture of 3 ~ 4 mm or 6 ~ 8 mm.
Skills of making beehives
1, if you don't feel uncomfortable and just want to make your body healthier by eating beehives, you can eat 30g of beehives on an empty stomach after getting up early every day, wash them directly when eating, and then chew them in your mouth.
When you want to treat rhinitis or pharyngitis with beehive, the dosage should be increased. Eat 50g every day, twice in the morning and evening. Eat on an empty stomach when you get up early and before going to bed at night. Just like people usually eat sugar, you should let the honey in the hive stay in your mouth for a few minutes as much as possible, then swallow the honey and spit out the remaining beeswax.
3. If you want to treat cough with beehives, you need to brew them in edible vinegar. The specific ratio is that the beehive and vinegar are one to three, which can be eaten for about ten days. You can take it twice a day, each time10g, which can treat cough. If you think the vinegar soaked in the honeycomb tastes bad, you can also dilute it with cold boiled water and drink it again, which will taste much better.
In life, some people will feel uncomfortable in their stomachs after eating beehives. This is because the honey in the honey nest is very pure and has not been well absorbed by the stomach. At this time, if you drink vinegar in time, the symptoms of stomach discomfort will soon disappear, but people with allergic history need to pay special attention. If they are allergic, then stop eating beehives.
Preservation method of beehive
Sun-dried or slightly steamed, dead bees and pupae, sun-dried, impurity-removed, cut into pieces, placed in a ventilated and dry place to prevent pressure and moth, eaten raw or fried.
