So this dude trained his bee’s to take
pollen from the cola’s of marijuana plants instead of flowers.. And in
return the honey they produce is infused with THC and the product is
essentially purified as it goes travels through the bee’s system (As
normal bee enzymes make nectar into honey).. The product is a dank
edible honey that will medicate the shit out of you. This guy wins all
around.

Nicolas Trainerbees, the Beekeeper That Has Managed to Get His Bees to Make Honey with Cannabis Resin

Many are calling him a genius. The man is an artisan, locksmith and
above all else, he explains, he is a beekeeper. He has over 4300
Facebook followers and 700 on Instagram after the 39-year-old Frenchman,
who describes himself as an advocate of medical cannabis and of
complete cannabis legalization, trained bees to make honey from cannabis.

He goes by the nickname of Nicolas Trainerbees, for obvious reasons.
For 20 years, he has worked with bees in a way where he claims he is
able to “train” them to make honey from virtually anything.

“I have trained bees to do several things, such as collect sugar from fruits, instead of using flowers,” he explains.

Nicholas says he has “been passionate about nature since childhood,”
which led him to this profession that mixes his love for plant life with
his love for animals – especially insects.

Nicholas calls the cannabis-honey produced by the bees “cannahoney”
from “a training technique whereby the bees collect the resin and use it
in the beehive.”

The final substance, he explains, is the sole work of the bees. “For
some time I had known about the health benefits of bee products such as
honey, propolis, pollen, wax and royal jelly and also about the benefits
of cannabis,” and so he decided to take notice of the requests, he
explains.

Add to that the fact that “everything that passes through the body of
a bee is improved,” he said, since their enzymes make the nectar turn
into honey.

“So if the bee took the resin from cannabis it would also be very
beneficial.”“The aim arose for me to get the bees to obtain this resin,”
he added. The “cannahoney” has “quite a floral” aroma and a color, he
explains. It “is not smoked, it is ingested and it is good for health,”
he adds. Nicolas says that “the bees accept any strain.”

So do the bees get high off of the cannabis they make the honey from?

“The bees that produce the cannahoney are not affected by
cannabinoids because they do not have an endocannabinoid system,” he
says. It’s just another form of food for them.

Royal jelly is a honey bee secretion that is used a nutrition for
larvae and queen bees. When worker bees decide to make a new queen
because the old one is either dying or dead, they choose several larvae
and feed them royal jelly in specially constructed queen cells. This
triggers the larvae to develop with queen morphology, including fully
developed ovaries needed to lay eggs.

Bee Hotels for Solitary Bees
You may be wondering what bees need a hotel for, when they make their own hives. The truth is that many species of bees are solitary – the do not live in hives but instead construct their own nest. The main reason for this is because in these species every female is fertile and this would not make for comfortable communal living in a hive.
