The story of liquid gold.

Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

I'm going to tell you a quick story and kind of my thoughts about it. This, my friend Jonathan gave me this. This is a plastic container full of honey, local honey, made from his own beehives.

Now, it's interesting, I liked the idea behind this story and I'm not sure where it's gonna go as I start to tell it, but I'm about to tell it anyways.

Because I think there's a lot of people that be interested, I'm being plugged in with a lot of people in the self reliance field.

In fact, I have a podcast out there you can go check out called offthegridbiz.com, which we've been we've had around for a few years now interviewed some great people in the business area of self reliance everywhere from environmentalists to survivalists to everything in between, I mean, just people all over the spectrum, but people who have an interest in self reliance of some sort, then go on and on about that.

But then what, what is one of those things that pulls a lot of them together, honey, honey is a really interesting idea.

For one thing, the preservation of bee colonies and everything with with a whole lot of the loss of bee colonies over the years. All the controversy around that had pulls a lot of people together.

People who are involved in any type of agriculture depend a whole lot of their crops depend on bees.

Honey is one of those things, it's, it's kind of everywhere, on my friend, Brad out there, which we we have an interviewer to with him on off the grid biz, and he he has an amazing product.

Regarding beehives, you can go and check that out. And an entire business wrapped around it. Learning how to make your own honey is a huge self reliance project in and of itself, whether you make a business out of it or not just learning how to do it is pretty wild.

There's a whole bunch of medicinal uses for honey. Honey is one of those things that's also shelf stable.

You know, there's no specific for my understanding, there's no specific date of use needed for honey, they found honey, you know, 1000s of years old, that's still edible.

So you can put this up on a shelf for quite a long time and not have to worry about anything other than probably a little bit of crystallization. But I think it depends on the honey to and the purity. It's just it's a very interesting idea.

A lot of people refer to it as liquid gold. Let me tell you the story behind this, this particular bottle.

So Jonathan, I'm sure he won't mind me saying this. He, he was he's been interested in keeping bees for a number of years. But between work and everything else, he hasn't been able to really spend time to really get good at it.

He was contemplating getting rid of it. So he wanted to talk to an expert, he talked to somebody who referred him to somebody that was kind of an expert at these types of things. And this gentleman, he said, and he said, here's the here's what I can do. Would you be willing to let me take care of your beehives.

I'll do everything for you free of charge. The only thing I'll charge you for is if we needed any equipment to update anything, or to keep anything up and running.
