Bear Gets Totally High After Binging On Psychedelic Honey - The Dodo

The honey is produced by bees who collect pollen from specific flowers in the rhododendron family which are native to the region. For thousands of years, people have been harvesting “mad honey” for both its sweetness and drug-like effects.

In smaller doses, it can create feelings of euphoria and even cause hallucinations. It is possible, however, to eat too much “mad honey.” And, from the looks of it, this bear did just that.

Must have been hell of a trip!

Telling the #Bees is an old #tradition in England and elsewhere in Europe. #Beekeepers would inform their hives of important events in their family - births, deaths, marriages. It was believed that if the bees were not told, they might leave the hive or stop making #honey, or simply sting people and die.

Nice to see the tradition is being upheld, as the royal beekeeper has informed the Queen's bees that the #Queen has died and #King Charles is their new boss. Sorry I could only find coverage of this in the Daily Mail.

The royal beekeeper - in an arcane tradition thought to date back centuries - has informed the hives kept in the grounds of Buckingham Palace and Clarence House of the Queen’s death.

And the bees have also been told, in hushed tones, that their new master is now King Charles III.

The official Palace beekeeper, John Chapple, 79, told MailOnline how he travelled to Buckingham Palace and Clarence House on Friday following news of The Queen’s death to carry out the superstitious ritual.

He placed black ribbons tied into bows on the hives, home to tens of thousands of bees, before informing them that their mistress had died and that a new master would be in charge from now on.

He then urged the bees to be good to their new master - himself once famed for talking to plants.

The strange ritual is underpinned by an old superstition that not to tell them of a change of owner would lead to the bees not producing honey, leaving the hive or even dying.
