2:49 Now I know why most honey bottles have labels that say don’t feed to infants 1 year or younger. I was just wondering that today in the morning. I learn something new everyday.
Well botulism can survive as spores in there. Adults can kill it before any harm is done but children can die from it
I believe their stomach acid is not as strong as adults as well but I might be wrong.
@@KanYprDalak they have similar acid to adults.
@@Allahuma.sali.ala.muhammad. oh oky then thanks.

Very informative.

Speaking of which, can you look at menstrual blood under the microscope...?
"Bee Defensin 1" has to be one of my favorite peptide names ever. Just so mysterious. I wonder what it does...
Protects you from people that, for some reason, dont like Jazz.
I agree.
Can we see like raw meat under the microscope and then cooked to to see if it actually has bacteria or not?
you can have a look of Bacteria in Milk by following my channel, Boiling Kill the Bacteria.
this is a good one, dirty water boiled: ua-cam.com/video/lOEOQ9ChRXc/v-deo.html
That would be so difficult though cause you have to cut it thin enough so you can see light through it

Odd, the jar clearly states that the honey is "Unfiltered", there should be quite a lot of pollen if unfiltered. A beekeeper told me that there is no reason what so ever to filter honey unless you want to hide its origin, pollen is a bit like the honeys home address. If the story is true or not I have no idea but it sounds plausible.
Yup, that is true. I am looking at different honey brands and when I find one with pollen, I will make a video showing the pollen.
Pollen can bee seen with the naked eye!
@@sci-inspi I'm a hobby beekeeper in Florida. If you're interested, I wouldn't mind sending a small sample of honey when I harvest in June of this year. I don't filter or cook my honey. I just strain it to remove wax and any wayward bee parts.
@@guitarstitch Hi. Since you are a beekeeper, maybe youcan clear things out here...
So, since childhood I'm hearing constantly that honey is kind of antibiotic, and in the beginning of this video, the last comment says "honey never expires", BUT, recentlymy mother brought home a 3 liter glas jar of honey, and it looks weird (I'd say more like wax, non-transparent), around 1/5 at the top is white (looks like sugar) and thelid on the jar is slightly bulging... So I googled it and different websites say different things about this, but most of them say that bulging lid means that the honey has started fermenting, and it is not safe to consume it (and that now it is only good for baking or making alcohol) - more than that, some websites say that honey can be contaminated with botulism spores (which is impossible to detect in food visualy, by taste or smell, is lethal if not diagnosed and treated very fast, and can survive even over half an hour of boiling and can only be kiled in the autoclave) and also that honey spoils (absorbs air humidity and starts fermenting) very quick if not placed in a sealed container... So these statements go against each other, and I am confused... Can you clear this out for me, maybe? Is it safe or not, after all? (Sorry if my English is not good enough to explain all this properly, but I hope you will get it right.)
@@Vic47 Hi! I'll be glad to share what I know as I understand it. Bear in mind, this is not medical advice and should be confirmed.
1) The opaque honey could be crystalizing. If you put the jar in a bath of warm water (around 46 degrees Celsius) and the honey clears up, it's just sugar. This is not a problem. Some honeys crystalize due to the nature of the nectar source, or due to low humidity.
2) Fermented honey is easily distinguishable by the smell. It will have a yeasty wine-like or bread-like smell to it. It's likely safe to eat, though may not be pleasant. The bulging lid could also be the result of a temperature differential from when it was put in the jar and where it is now. If it was bottled in colder temperatures, it will expand in warmer temperatures.
3) Honey can contain botulism and other bacterial spores. Spores are typically destroyed by the body and are not the same as active bacteria, which is why honey can still be considered antibiotic even though it may contain spores. As this video stated, the spores will remain dormant until a more suitable environment is presented.
4) I'm not sure that honey requires a perfectly sealed container to remain edible. Perfectly good honey over 1000 years old has been found in Egypt. In my experience, honey tends to crystalize more often than it absorbs moisture and begins to ferment - and I live in a high humidity climate. If the honey was harvested before it was capped (bees tend to cap at around 18% moisture), it is prone to fermenting.
5) Your English is fine, my friend. It is better than that of many who speak it as a sole language.
I do hope this answers your questions.

Oh the joys of delay and reverb. Slap back is always a blast! Good to hear you are having fun.
Thanks for not rushing the captions!
this one is the best music on this channel so far, props to sci-inspi
@Wildlife Warrior ok?
This was awesome, thanks so much for sharing! I'd love to see a sample of a frequently used and properly cleaned Beauty Blender (makeup sponge). Specifically, I'd like to see a sample of the middle of the sponge, preferably one that has been used for 3 months. The Beauty Blender is supposed to be washed and set out to dry after each use and thrown away after 3 months. Just curious what may lurk within the sponge.. and hopefully it will encourage me to be more studious about replacing my sponge. I'd be happy to donate mine, for science! lol.

Cool idea
Nope. I really don't think that you want to know.
I love your channel please don't ever stop!
Great content/video! First time viewer, now a subscriber.
That honey has been ultra filtered and by USDA law is not legal to sell as honey. The law was passed to protect consumers from diluted and adulterated honey but it is probably the most unenforced law in existance. As a legitimate beekeeper I wish the government would enforce the statute.
And beyond that,china uses pesticides etc that are banned here. So they cheat,they filter.then sell out of other countries with the pollen fingerprint removed.
You should do zamzam water under microscope
Yes, yes, yesssss!!!!

Wow this channel is fantastic. Not only does it show stuff under the microscope but you give concise explanations that are really effective at explaining the biological, chemical and pathophysiological mechanisms of the topic. 10/10 thanks very much :)
I like the variety in ads I get when I start watching new channels like this. Thanks Millipore Sigma for your ad on multicellular sporular dionulator
0:59 the low pH is derived from an enzyme called glucose oxidase which converts glucose into gluconic acid
Correct, the same enzyme it is also responsible for the hydrogen peroxide levels.

amazing video, it would be nice to see urine under the microscope to see if its sterile or not. Can i get a heart too?
You get a heart too!
Urine is sterile as long as there are no infections in the person/urethra, or is that BS?
@@davecom3 urine is never sterile. Urethra, bladder, ureters, and calyces where urine flows can be home of few bacteria even if the person is healthy or doesn't have UTI
@@medjov1061 fair enough *puts down cup of piss*
@@medjov1061 I think it's sterile in the bladder and becomes contaminated once it leaves. This is why so many people are under the impression urine is sterile.

When I was little, my brother had a heavy steal bar that was sharp at one end, fall on his leg. It opened a 6inch long gash in his leg down to the bone. We lived pretty far out in the country so we had to do most of our medical care ourselves. My dad washed the large wound, filled it with honey and ground comfrey leaves with golden seal and wrapped the wound tightly. After regular bandage changes and cleaning, within 6 months the wound was completely healed with absolutely no scar.
This channel never disappoints me :)

I wonder if we could slow down aging by creating an environment that has incredible antibacterial properties. A project that takes inspiration from how honey doesn’t have an expiration date.
The shelf life of honey is forever.
I always wondered about if anything could live in honey since I was told it kills germs.
Anything with a sugar content that high will be an unsuitable environment for microbes.
@@sundarpichai940 i thought that the less water content made it unsuitable for microbes...
@@sreemapaul4943 the high sugar content pulls the water out of the cells due to osmosis (similar to high salt content) so in way both statements are correct.
@@markburton5292 👍
I thought it was because of a peptide called bee defensin-1
It's so amazing how big of a world we live in it actually is when we look at it at such a microscopic level. Just imagine our planets being droplets of water in an ocean and we just don't know it! It really mind blowing!

I have a microbiology exam tomorrow and I swear this video was revision. I initially decided to watch for entertainment but atleast it helped me revise.😂😂
Sweet video bro!
Very interesting project. I would have thought you would have found some pollen at high magnification. I'm wondering if you could possibly find anything if you first put a test sample in a centrifuge for maybe 20 minutes. Anything suspended in the honey would eventually either sink to the bottom of rise to the top. You might have a better chance of finding anything in the sample if if can be concentrated that way. Just a thought.
My thoughts exactly and why I winder if the honey was really raw honey. I have seen raw honey and there should have been a ton of pollen in it. In fact, I have some raw comb honey and I can see with my bare eyes particles when held against the light. That makes me suspect that it's fake honey or ultra filtered Chinese honey
@@labella9291
Yes, even in cheap store bought honey I managed to find plenty of pollen (I did centrifuge though). In my country there are rules about the max % of non-EU honey allowed to be mixed with EU honey. If he had centrifuged it, he probably would've found pollen too though
@@godhateseveryonewhodoesntr5977 Isnt american honey mixed with a lot of syrup?
@@foty8679
I don't know, I'm European and in my country there's quality control for honey. A honey label is obligated to mention if there's non-EU honey mixed in it. I'd expect America to have rules about it too, but it's also possible they have no regulations for honey. I know China is pretty good at food fraud and that there were issues in the past with honey being sold that was heavily mixed with syrup. I think if your honey stays really liquid and if it isn't made from acacia (although maybe there's other plants that also give liquid honey that I don't know about, my information is restricted my own country), there's a decent chance that it's mixed with syrup. My grandfather's honey was also always liquid for a long time though and I don't think there used to be acacia trees close to his hives. And he certainly didn't add syrup lol. I think we still have a pot that's partially liquid and his last time harvesting was 3 years ago I think.
@@foty8679 in the US, Honey is allowed to be mixed with a frankly sad amount of Corn Syrup.
Hello Sci-inpis, I have a question, where I can get a microscope like the one you have and what its value is.

In babies, their natural gut microflora is not robust. In general, until they are 2. For clostridium botulinum spores to colonize, it is much easier when there isn't an established microflora to help as it would first colonize in the gut. And he could do a spore stain to visualize the spores under the microscope as well. It only requires a couple dyes.
this is a great channel
I'm surprised we didn't see... well... whatever honey's made up of under the microscope!
No tiny crystals (then again your honey was fresh), no unique structures or clusters that give honey its characteristics (like the fat globules in milk)... It just looked like plain simple syrup when zoomed in!
For liquids and gases, refraction decreases with volume I think.

Hi people!
HI!
Interesting video, may I ask about the model of your microscope? I would appreciate if you share that.
Hello, I used a Leica ATC 2000
I like how on the bottle it says unfiltered while in the description it says filtered.
All commercially prepared honeys are filtered, as there are gobs of wax, dead squished honeybees and other bee yard contaminants caught up in the process. Most large operations also heat pasteurize, which kills honey, as well as alters the flavor.
This was cool man, thank you.
I'd love to see real unprocessed honey, probably lots of crazy stuff in that.
it would look just like it did in this video.
did you not read any of the text talking about honey's anti-microbial properties?
This guy did it back in 2016 ua-cam.com/video/25qEGDhntGc/v-deo.html
@@LP620 That's not what I'm talking about, use your brain before commenting.
@@The_Cat_Authority no it wouldn't. Literally in the description he notes the lack of pollen in it. Room temp IQ.
To test BeeDefensin-1, what does honey look like when diluted and left in a Petri dish for a few days? Does bacteria manage to multiply with the small presence of BeeDefensin and peroxide?
You could test a few different concentrations, all the way down to the isotonic sugar level for humans.
no need for testing. as soon as you reach above 20% of water certain bacteria will start to multiply
@@jebise1126 so Bee defensin 1 is obsoleted by the sugar concentrations high osmolarity? Is it even useful in normal concentrations of honey for the bees? Or for humans? Is honey realistically just more expensive treacle?
Oh my God. Seriously i wanted information about hoey. You helped me a lot. Thank you very very much.

This is why misconceptions are dangerous, honey itself doesn't care about bacteria, but it doesn't mean it's free of them. Also it doesn't mean you can just store it improperly and expect it to be fine, because you can get botulism from honey.
That's beautiful...make more similar videos
