A French beekeeper who goes by the name of Nicholas Trainer has trained his bees to develop the first ever cannabis-infused honey for him and his friends.
A medical marijuana enthusiast, he decided to train his bees to gather resin from cannabis plants before making their honey.
It didn’t take much training, as the bees seem happy to do the job:
“I have trained bees to do several things, such as collect sugar from fruits, instead of using flowers,” Nicholas told Green Rush Daily. “The aim arose for me to get the bees to obtain this resin.”
People told him it couldn’t be done – that cannabis flowers could not be used for making honey, and even if they could, they’d be harmful to the bees.
But after two years experimentation, he’s proved the plant has zero negative impact on the insects.
Bees are not affected by cannabinoids, he explains, because they do not have an endocannabinoid system.
In humans, cannahoney has the same medicinal effects as smoking pot, without having to smoke it, users say.

Creepy, deceptive websites like this really irritate me.
Bees don’t pollinate corn *at all*, but the authors take special care specify “GMO corn” in the headline because the have *such* integrity.
“(Isn’t it convenient that nutrient-devoid food leaves us in need of an Aspirin?)” has so much wrong in a single sentence, I could write an essay, but if the website’s gullible readers were interested in fact rather than confirming their biases, they wouldn’t need it.
One glimmer of value in the article is the mention of “neonicotinoid”, cluelessly referred to as an insecticide. It is a class of many chemicals similar to nicotine, some of which are used as insecticides. If “neonicotinoid” is an insecticide, “vehicle” is “a car”.
“NeonicotinoidS” really are bad news, perhaps should be outright banned. Unfortunately, it is the ONLY treatment for some serious infestations the Asian Longhorn Beetle, which has decimated entire forests in the U.S.s
Still, despite the author’s snide remark, “Not surprisingly they are still totally legal in Canada and the U.S.”, Neonicotinoids are under EPA review with expected completion time in 2018, though they had taken preliminary action to limit use in January this year, which the author would mention if they bothered to do any research.

Gosh, I wonder if this post will be deleted by the website staff, who clearly have only the purest ethical integrity.
Sorry about the first comment. I wrote it when I was grumpy. Please delete and consider only the second.
It only took you 26 minutes to feel better?
What..did you smoke a big day cannabis stick? KIDDING!! I found it insightful.
It’s true that honeybees don’t pollinate corn, but they do indeed visit corn. Other than that, I find YOUR snide remarks without merit. Thanks anyway.
il travaille pour l.etat français
Hey asshole, it’s not that the bees pollinate the corn, it’s that commercial apiaries replace honey wells with corn syrup water for the winter that comes from go corn ya lame. And it doesn’t even say that in the headline you’re just an overly dramatic child.
I didn’t once see the tye word “CORN” posted up.
I did see the word “MARIJUANA” though you “NUMB SKULL CONSERVATIVE”.
Funny,. I thought he was a liberal when I got mad at him.
There is nothing on there about corn .
I also find this a ploy like Trump does or other politicians or lawyers . Stay on subject . Ignore this man . He is just trying to stir the pot .Yet , he who stirs the pots gets to tastes first .
Stir the POT….HAHAHA!
Hey troll… you’re real bright are ya. Conservative corrupt uninformed and … well you’re just an asshole.
Your comments (yeah we can see you spam posted your meandering rhetoric three times – n00b) are nothing more than a vain attempt at the proving you are an unintelligent swine.
Incidentally – if you actually took the time and located three active braincells, you would have found that the article had nothing to do with corn or basically anything your neanderthal out of touch thought processes imagined… you really should go and seek some basic reading and comprehension skills… you dimwit.
Have a nice day shmuck ❤
He’s got the sort of face you just wanna punch… repeatedly… conservative morons are morons
Bees don’t pollinate corn *at all*, but the author takes special care specify “GMO corn” in the headline because. Not cool.
“(Isn’t it convenient that nutrient-devoid food leaves us in need of an Aspirin?)”
Even among anti-GMO activists, the “GMO foods have less nutrients” claim is avoided because it is not true. Is this intentional deception or poor education?
“neonicotinoid” is not an insecticide. It is a class of many chemicals similar to nicotine, some of which are used as insecticides. If “neonicotinoid” is an insecticide, “vehicle” is “a car”.
Still, “NeonicotinoidS” really are bad news, and perhaps should be outright banned. Unfortunately, it is the ONLY treatment for some serious infestations the Asian Longhorn Beetle, which has decimated entire forests in the U.S..
For those who can see the forest from the bees, which do you choose? Probably bees, but the matter needs debate, not attack.
Despite the remark, “Not surprisingly they are still totally legal in Canada and the U.S.”, Neonicotinoids are under EPA review with expected completion time in 2018, though the EPA has made preliminary recommendations to limit use in January this year:

The limitation is probably not enough to solve the problem, but it’s an honest start.
Oops! Typos.
It’s because the big companies don’t let land rest . Hence robbing the land what it needs to recover. The GMOs have been said to cause cancer . I say people stop GMO foods . It is just the big companies cutting corners and getting money . This sadly , is not caring about a person’s health . Very selfish indeed .

This is complete BS. There is no nectar, nor pollen for them, unless the person is growing male plants and that’s pointless. Any photo or video that shows bees on a cannabis plant has been staged by spraying sugar water on the plants.
Darn!
Bees regularly collect resins from trees and plants to coat the insides of their hive, it’s called propolis. They use it to keep the hive sterile from bacteria and mould. This guy who trained his bees is a down right genius!
