Once the colony passes their health check and are re-homed in new hives, these bees produce honey for their honey company Ontario Honey Creations.

The Health Benefits of Black Tea

Black tea is brimming with goodness. The naturally occurring flavonoids in black teas act as antioxidants. These are compounds that prevent cell damage by neutralizing free radicals. Cell damage has been linked to many chronic diseases including cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Tea is simply loaded with antioxidants - in fact two cups of tea contain the antioxidant levels of seven glasses of orange juice, or four apples!

While tea does contain caffeine (around 25 to 34mg per serving, far less than coffee) this caffeine is bundled with several compounds that work to prevent an energy "‹œspike' and promote a gentler, extended "‹œlift' to help sustain energy and focus throughout the day.

Black tea has been linked to:

Decreased risk of cardiovascular disease (heart disease and stroke) through improved cholesterol levels and reduced cell damage
Providing some protective benefits against cancer through antioxidants
Immune system strength - tea contains theanine, a unique amino acid that supports the immune system, helping our bodies defend against infections, bacteria, and viruses. In one clinical trial, participants who consumed five cups of black tea daily for two to four weeks experienced a 2x - 4x increase in interferon in their immune cells.
Bone strength and oral health. Tea is a natural source of fluoride which helps protect tooth enamel, and studies have shown that habitual tea drinkers had healthy bone mineral density in later life.
Kidney stone prevention - a recent study found that for every eight ounce cup of tea female participants drank daily, their risk of developing these painful stones decreased by eight percent. (Participants had no history of stones) Another study showed a decreased risk of 14% in men.
