Before you start writing, it’s safe to sketch. A plan will help you take care of things. Write down any important key points so that you don’t forget to add them to your essay. A decent outline will help you write a logical and clear analysis of your chosen topic. The outline is the same as for traditional compositions.

This is TERRIBLY badly written! Usually the standards of writing on this site are poor – it’s written by bee-keepers, not by professional writers. But in this case, I was sure I was reading the writing of a non-native speaker of English or a google translation of an article from another language. It’s just extraordinarily bad.

Incredible that something of this low quality not only is published, but is attributed by someone styling him- or herself an ‘editor’ and a writer.

As a former college writing instructor, editor and ghost-writer with advanced degrees in English from Berkeley and Oxford, I’m appalled. And I’m cancelling my subscription. For awhile, the information was worth plowing through clumsy writing, but with this article, you’ve hit rock-bottom. Not only is the writing abysmal, the ‘information’ is banal and useless.

Honey as among the lowest of “glycemic index” of sugars, the best to use if a tendency for sugar sensitivities. The American Apitherapy Society (non profit) Offers information as well as courses for using honey for all types of heath problems, and using a few hive products like honey, propolis, BVT (bee venom) to moderate effects and symptoms of diabetes. This area of Apitherapy is just now entering the arena of offering multiple (free) options of controlling this autoimmune condition. Many of the (volunteer) instructors for the AAS are Internationally acclaimed MD’s,

Thank you for #6, so few know that the European honey bee does not die when it stings, but you did get the dynamics slightly wrong.
Rare is the sting when the stinger does not come off the body of the bee. How it comes off is what determines living/dying. Usually, the slightest touch of the stinger, it comes out, and if you watch the stinger, it has a separate “pump” and will visibly pulsate as it pumps the venom, usually for about 30 seconds.
A clean separation from her body assures that she will live a normal long life as if she has not stung at all, and will even be welcomed back into the hive.
But the “suicide” aspect is also 100% accurate if she gets slapped to death for the stinging.
In the course of using Apitherapy (bee venom and the other “dozen” products from the hive for health and healing) I have administered 50 or so stings a week for 15 years (I personally use BVT…Bee Venom Therapy…mostly for pain management…but also for healing)…so, maybee 35,000 stings. At first, I lost almost all of them (bees), their stinger “pulled their guts out”. Within a year, I was at the point of losing only 1 in 50 bees or so.
When getting my bees in the mail, (yes, there are several companies that will mail 20-100 bees to you, once or on a schedule) and some have been around in America for 20-30 years doing so) I kept them in a homemade “bee hotel”. The bees that stung me were placed in a separate residence, and those live to an identical length of time as those that had not stung yet. (I did have to learn how to feed and keep them comfortable).
When I got my own hives a dozen years ago, I took bees out year around, and in the summer observed the ones I released fly back into the hive, past the guard bees without notice. After that, my best guess, because I cannot tell at a glance or sometimes looking closely whether the stinger is in place or not when I see a random bee.
I loved this article and think it is one of the most accurately written ones I have read out of thousands (I assisted in gathering and “vetting” articles for the free monthly newsletter for the (non-profit) American Apitherapy Society (AAS), as well as their quarterly…for members only…for about 13 years). For more information, see Apitherapy.org
I have now “retired” from my volunteer work for the organization, and the publications are now being handled by very competent, expert editor(s).

In reply to Frank Strahan. Frank, Thank you for your feedback. We have recently switched some things around here in terms of personnel so that we can spend a little more time copy editing everything that appears on the site.

In reply to Edward. Hello Ed, Sadly, honey has slightly more carbohydrates than sugar does, so yes, if you're diabetic, you have to moderate your honey intake as well. If you prefer the taste of honey to sugar, use it, but be sure to count the carbohydrates in your eating plan.

An interesting article but because of so many typos and mixed up edits, I’m not entirely sure the information you wanted to present was as clear as it could have been. The wording of point #9 was particularly confusing. “Foamy” was not addressed at all in the answer and I was curious as to what was meant by the word in the heading.

I live in Nelson Mandela Bay, (Port Elizabeth) Republic of South Africa.
Our bees are the African variety; what the Americans call killer bees. They produce a full super or more per season but you have to always work fully suited. A friend only wears a head veil & gets dozens of stings regularly. He says afterwards that he feels “warm”
I have3 hives in my backyard.
