    I was in town today so popped into robinsons for some chicken breast on the bone,i did look twice when i was buying them but thought they would be ok. They were not as went to use tonight and they stank.
    They will be returned tomorrow morning and we will see what they say about it.
    I will post an update of the outcome,but the guy should have known by the smell they were bad but i suppose they are only trained to sell and not judge the quality.

    I just harvested my first kiyot bee honey from a air vent they had been living in for a few years. They are a small black stingless be and quite common here.
    If you want to attract then cut a length of bamboo with both plugs in and drill a small hole at one end and set in a tree etc and wait.
    The honey from them is expensive and supposed to be very good for you.
    It certainly tastes differenent from any other honey with a slightly sour and sweet flavour.

    For centuries honey is known to be the enemy of diseases. Stingless bee honey is called Mother Medicine and there are an increasing number of traditional practitioners and researchers suggesting its use.
    Many known health benefits of eating stingless bee honey regularly include anti-ageing, enhanced libido and immune system, fighting bacteria and treating bronchial catarrh, sore throat, coughs and colds.
    Honey is also restorative after an illness and said to sooth pain, act as antiseptic, hasten healing, relieve cough and be effective in curing burns, carbuncle, boils and diabetic wounds.

    An extensive study on honey by Mohammed Moniruzzaman et. al., published in BioMed Research International Volume 2014, reported that among the various honey varietals taken from the different regions of Malaysia, dark colour honey produced by Trigona from starfruit or carambola trees contains exceptionally high levels of potassium, magnesium, iron and zinc.

    Stingless bee honey certainly has a lot of nutrients because meliponine is smaller than the normal bee and can suck nectar from flowers to the deepest space. As a result, the honey collected contains many vitamins and minerals, among which is propolis, produced from the bee’s saliva mixed with its food such as pollen, bark, tree shoots and flowers.

    Propolis is considered beneficial to heatlh because it contains all 16 amino acids, glucose, vitamins A, B, C, D and E, bioflavonoids and minerals

    Thr hive was not destroyed totally and they are back now starting to rebuild.

    was a big rat but his size was no match for the pack. This morning's kill. With 4 dog fighting to get a piece of his a$$. Rat's life expectation went to zero in less than two minute. Big Rottweiler run Mr. Rat out from behind the water presser tank and into the jaws of Mr. Pit-Bull. Then it turned into a free for all, tug-a-war and rat lost.:hungover::dead: That rat is so big I thought it had caught a petty cab up from Hipper Mart.:cat:

    I put my #11 in there just for size reference. About a year ago Mr. Pit-Bull killed a snake about 3.5 feet long. I do not like snakes or rats. Did I mention in the other tread that my pack don't like Trespasser?:shamefullyembarrased::smile:

    The sinners are much more fun.
    Here are some of my favorite images from a rather dreary week.
    To my Yankee friends, happy Independence Day!
    To my British friends, sorry about that.
    To everyone else, :finger: :biggrin:

    You will find this news story in Headz Up Neg Or, the FB page of Negros Oriental and the date of the story says June 15, that means today. The news states that a 50-year-old American guy was arrested for violation of a law against drugs.

    I find this sad since this fellow is not from this country and getting into such a situation should be the last thing he should have done. I am just sharing this because some of you might know him, his name is in the news story.

    I started my own Coronary Rehab here at home. Soon discovered that I needed something to monitor my pulse. Having spent several weeks in the ICU in three different hospitals. I was familiar with those finger tip devises. Found them at "Berovan Marketing" on the North Hwy. It is called "Fingertip Pulse Oximeter" cost ₱4,500.oo. Found a knee brace there also.

    I recently posted a list of recommended health professionals, which some people seem to have found useful.

    I am thinking of doing the same for Tradesmen - probably splitting it into categories, such as vehicle-related and house-related. I may also add places where related products are best obtained (car/bike parts, building/DIY parts, etc.)

    I will search the threads to see what I can find and collate but would welcome any recommendations. For vehicle-related, I have just read a thread where 'Lenny' scores highly for selling cars and a car lot opposite the hypermart for paint jobs. I have heard of Centro as good for car repairs/servicing. It would be useful to know of good general builders, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, metal workers (for gates etc.), glaziers, etc.

    I am not trying to replicate or replace the various Forum subdivisions, without them I would know nothing, but to bring information from them into one posting to save searching and to help newbies.

    We should help each other as much as we can because - unlike a recent posting comment - it is good to like each other and help each other.
