[9][10], Honey is produced by bees collecting nectar and honeydew for use as sugars consumed to support metabolism of muscle activity during foraging or to be stored as a long-term food supply. But here's the cheaper description -- "twisted," "creepy," and "seriously unsettling." Like most viscous liquids, the honey becomes thick and sluggish with decreasing temperature. [104][105] Honey's antibacterial effects were first demonstrated by the Dutch scientist Bernardus Adrianus van Ketel in 1892. If not, it indicates honey with excessive water content of over 20%,[93] not suitable for long-term preservation.[94]. [24], Because of its composition and chemical properties, honey is suitable for long-term storage, and is easily assimilated even after long preservation. Strange cravings and hallucinations befall a young couple after seeking shelter in the home of an aging farmer and her peculiar son. This article is within the scope of WikiProject Horror, an attempt to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to fictional horror in film, literature and other media on Wikipedia. [92], High-quality honey can be distinguished by fragrance, taste, and consistency. With Barbara Kingsley, Stephen D'Ambrose, William Aydelott, Rachel Alexandria Arnold. [56] The temperature at which caramelization begins varies, depending on the composition, but is typically between 70 and 110 °C (158 and 230 °F). The fructose gives a negative rotation, while the glucose gives a positive one. According to his teachings (hadith), Muhammad strongly recommended honey for healing purposes. Some typical European examples include thyme, thistle, heather, acacia, dandelion, sunflower, lavender, honeysuckle, and varieties from lime and chestnut trees. [63] VOCs from honeys in different geographic regions can be used as floral markers of those regions, and as markers of the bees that foraged the nectars. The world's first winemakers were the world's first beekeepers. With shades of De Palma’s frenetic editing and sound design brought into a modern context, Honeydew immerses you in a nightmare that is sure to satisfy all cravings for a fresh, stylish backwoods horror.”, Milburn describes the film as a “modern day Hansel and Gretel story.”. Honeys that are supersaturated with a very high percentage of glucose, such as brassica honey, crystallize almost immediately after harvesting, while honeys with a low percentage of glucose, such as chestnut or tupelo honey, do not crystallize. Viscosity increases very slowly with moderate cooling; a honey containing 16% water, at 70 °C (158 °F), has a viscosity around 2 poise, while at 30 °C (86 °F), the viscosity is around 70 poise. [63][65] The specific geography, soil composition and acidity used to grow the flora also have an effect on honey aroma properties,[64] such as a "fruity" or "grassy" aroma from longan honey, or a "waxy" aroma from sunflower honey. [136][137] The oldest known honey remains were found in Georgia during the construction of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline: archaeologists found honey remains on the inner surface of clay vessels unearthed in an ancient tomb, dating back between 4,700 and 5,500 years. Let's trot out that $7 word we use for movies like "Honeydew" -- "obscurant." [130], In myths and folk medicine, honey was used both orally and topically to treat various ailments including gastric disturbances, ulcers, skin wounds, and skin burns by ancient Greeks and Egyptians, and in Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine. Generally, honey is bottled in its familiar liquid form, but it is sold in other forms, and can be subjected to a variety of processing methods. [153] It belongs among the parve (neutral) foods, containing neither meat nor dairy products and allowed to be eaten together with either. [9], One 1980 study found that mixed floral honey from several United States regions typically contains the following:[97]. Early Christians used honey as a symbol of spiritual perfection in christening ceremonies. [7][8], Honey use and production have a long and varied history as an ancient activity. [Bloody Disgusting x Dark Star]. [11][12] During foraging, bees access part of the nectar collected to support metabolic activity of flight muscles, with the majority of collected nectar destined for regurgitation, digestion, and storage as honey. This NMR method was not able to quantify maltose, galactose, and the other minor sugars as compared to fructose and glucose. The dead were often buried in or with honey in Egypt, Mesopotamia and other regions. [3] Honey is collected from wild bee colonies, or from hives of domesticated bees, a practice known as beekeeping or apiculture. Sadly the movie fell short of what entertains me, so I wasn't impressed with the movie, much less actually entertained by the events that transpired on the screen. [citation needed] The unique flora of Australia yields a number of distinctive honeys, with some of the most popular being yellow box, blue gum, ironbark, bush mallee, Tasmanian leatherwood, and macadamia. [115] The World Health Organization recommends honey as a treatment for coughs and sore throats, including for children, stating that no reason exists to believe it is less effective than a commercial remedy. [4] Most microorganisms do not grow in honey, so sealed honey does not spoil, even after thousands of years. The fact is that you’re going to know exactly what you’re getting into with Honeydew, a film that retells the same backwoods cannibal religious family story you’ve been seeing since Tobe Hooper grabbed some guts from a butcher shop and let them dry out in the Texas heat to … [61] Honey contains many kinds of acids, both organic and amino. [1] Bees produce honey from the sugary secretions of plants (floral nectar) or from secretions of other insects (such as honeydew), by regurgitation, enzymatic activity, and water evaporation. The monkey's gift is frequently depicted in Buddhist art. According to legend, while he was there a monkey brought him honey to eat. Preliminary evidence suggests that it aids in the healing of partial thickness burns 4–5 days faster than other dressings, and moderate evidence suggests that post-operative infections treated with honey heal faster and with fewer adverse events than with antiseptic and gauze. Honey is collected from wild bee colonies or from domesticated beehives. The film stars Sawyer The film stars Sawyer Honeydew (melon) [65] VOCs are responsible for nearly all of the aroma produced by a honey, which may be described as "sweet", "flowery", "citrus", "almond" or "rancid", among other terms. [119][121] Honey is generally considered ineffective for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis. To safely collect honey from a hive, beekeepers typically pacify the bees using a bee smoker. [44] The rate of crystallization is affected by many factors, but the primary factor is the ratio of the main sugars: fructose to glucose. Honey may be heated during bottling at temperatures of 40–49 °C (104–120 °F) to delay or inhibit crystallization. [27], The long shelf life of honey is attributed to an enzyme found in the stomach of bees. Measurements of the electrical conductivity are used to determine the quality of honey in terms of ash content. Commercial processing, with pooling of honey from numerous sources, is thought to dilute any toxins. Addition of sugars originating from corn or sugar cane (C4 plants, unlike the plants used by bees, and also sugar beet, which are predominantly C3 plants) skews the isotopic ratio of sugars present in honey,[34] but does not influence the isotopic ratio of proteins. [13] It is then placed in honeycomb cells and left unsealed while still high in water content (about 50 to 70%) and natural yeasts which, unchecked, would cause the sugars in the newly formed honey to ferment. [72] To produce monofloral honey, beekeepers keep beehives in an area where the bees have access, as far as possible, to only one type of flower. 24:13), but also, "It is not good to eat much honey" (Prov. The aliphatic acids contribute greatly to the flavor of honey by interacting with the flavors of other ingredients. Overheating is indicated by change in enzyme levels, for instance, diastase activity, which can be determined with the Schade or the Phadebas methods. Honeydew is a 2020 American horror film written and directed by Devereux Milburn, and was later released in the US on March 12, 2021. In the UK, only six cases were reported between 1976 and 2006,[127] yet the U.S. has much higher rates: 1.9 per 100,000 live births, 47.2% of which are in California. Aside from water content, the composition of most types of honey also has little effect on viscosity. [142], In ancient Greek religion, the food of Zeus and the twelve Gods of Olympus was honey in the form of nectar and ambrosia. The film stars Sawyer Spielberg, Malin Barr and Barbara Kingsley. Adulteration of honey has been practiced since ancient times, when honey was sometimes blended with plant syrups such as maple, birch, or sorghum and sold to customers as pure honey. Symptoms of tutin poisoning include vomiting, delirium, giddiness, increased excitability, stupor, coma, and violent convulsions. A 2013 NMR spectroscopy study of 20 different honeys from Germany found that their sugar contents comprised: The average ratio was 56% fructose to 44% glucose, but the ratios in the individual honeys ranged from a high of 64% fructose and 36% glucose (one type of flower honey; table 3 in reference) to a low of 50% fructose and 50% glucose (a different floral source). Honey also has an effect on polarized light, in that it rotates the polarization plane. Some types of honey may produce few but very large crystals, while others produce many small crystals. Bees store honey in wax structures called honeycombs. This is my own Youtube channel where I am playing Skyrim in the mornings UK time, and this is a Youtube home for those play sessions! At 25 °C (77 °F), honey with 14% water content generally has a viscosity around 400 poise, while a honey containing 20% water has a viscosity around 20 poise. With Jessica Alba, Mekhi Phifer, Romeo Miller, Missy Elliott. Honey tends to absorb more water in this manner than the individual sugars allow on their own, which may be due to other ingredients it contains. [61] Minor amounts of other organic acids are present, consisting of formic, acetic, butyric, citric, lactic, malic, pyroglutamic, propionic, valeric, capronic, palmitic, and succinic, among many others. However, the different types and their amounts vary considerably, depending on the type of honey.
