Cow Urine Saving Bees- Andrea Tholen


Researcher's in India are suggesting that cow urine can potentially save bee's from disease. The urine helps ward off microbial diseases that effect bees, and some researchers are using it extensively while breeding honey bees. Ruchira Tiwari, a researcher at the institute who has done three years of research on the subject said, “We have used cow urine and with that we have seen that within seven-eight days, the breed becomes healthy. The urine actually works better then medincines and the production of larvae from eggs increases where as with medicine it decreases. I thought this was a pretty cool idea because most people would not think that cow urine could have an effect in the process of getting honey that many people eat.
