Now, you may be wondering if cannabis is in any way harmful for the bees. The answer is no. “The bees that produce the cannahoney are not affected by cannabinoids because they do not have an endocannabinoid system”, he explained. So don’t worry, the bees are perfectly healthy!
“Everything that passes through the body of a bee is improved,” he said. Resin obtained from trees and plants, including cannabis, is turned into propolis, which is an antiseptic, antibiotic, antifungal, and antibacterial. The bees will also use the resin from any strain, meaning there are almost limitless possibilities for creating different kinds of cannahoney.
How does the cannahoney taste? It has been described as quite floral, and it’s color slightly changes depending on the strains used, but it usually ranges from light green to white or yellow. As Trainer importantly explains, the honey “is not smoked, it is ingested and it is good for health.”
Trainer now has over 30 beehives to create the honey. His cannahoney is everything it claims to be — it could essentially be the first-ever all-natural cannabis edible.
