ECLIPSE TOTAL DE LUNA
La Luna, cruzará la Eclíptica en fase de Luna Llena este 21 de Diciembre (el día del Solsticio). El show lunar comenzará a las 03:32 hora de Chile, del 21, con el eclipse parcial ocurriendo sobre nuestras cabezas.
El eclipse total tendrá lugar entre las 04:40 y las 05:53, hora local, ya con la Luna sobre el horizonte del Oeste. Continuará luego un eclipse parcial hasta las 07:01, cuando ya el Sol esté apareciendo por el lado contrario.

Ahora hay que ver si finalmente sube el precio de la miel de Ulmo y las otras que producimos en el Bosque Valdiviano muchos apicultores chilenos. Si es chileno es bueno, aunque el negocio lo hagan los extranjeros.Scientists have discovered a remarkable ultra-pure honey which can kill MRSA and other lethal antibiotic-resistant bugs.
The sweet food can be used as a potent cream or added to wound dressings to blast stubborn bacteria.
Researchers believe it will transform the treatment of virulent hospital infections such as MRSA and E.coli and be on the market within two years.
It could also be put into sore throat lozenges or medicated chewing gum.
Dr James Brennan, who is working with a team of scientists in Ireland at Healing Honey International, said: "This is a natural product with supernatural powers. It's like a shotgun that blows micro-organisms out of the water.
"It has worked in thousands of trials and has the potential to reduce MRSA in hospitals significantly.
"It can kill particularly virulent bugs that antibiotics and conventional antiseptics are failing to have an effect on."
He added: "I have been a practising scientist for a number of years and it is very rare that you get the opportunity to say, 'Wow'. But this is a genuinely exciting breakthrough that could make a great contribution to world health."
Grown in an isolated region of southern Chile, the honey - called ActiveH2O2NEY - was found and developed by British horticulturist and beekeeper Ian Staples, 63.
It is free from pollutants and contains a range of natural properties including hydrogen peroxide.

Manuka Honey as a wound treatment
A HRB-funded project, examining the use of honey in the healing of wounds has made a potentially significant breakthrough in the battle against chronic wounds. Dr. Georgina Gethin initiated the study when she was a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Sligo General Hospital and was awarded a HRB Fellowship to conduct a RCT (Randomised Controlled Trial) using Manuka honey in the treating of chronic leg ulcers.
The effects of Active Manuka honey in the cleansing (debridement) and healing rates of wounds, as well as in antimicrobial activity, were compared to the effects of a standard hydrogel, both under compression, over a 12-week period. After the treatment period, it was determined that the group treated with honey experienced a higher rate of debridement (removal of dead, damaged, or infected tissue), significantly faster healing and reduced infection than in the group treated with the standard gel. Particularly striking in the study, was the information about effectiveness of Active Manuka Honey on wounds with Methicillin-resistant Staphylo

AN IRISH college has discovered there's money in honey
Sligo Institute of Technology has just signed a licensing agreement with a leading American company following research it conducted into manuka honey -- believed to have unique healing powers.
The institute research team isolated the curative properties of the honey and showed how they could be produced synthetically. Now HemCon plans to use the discovery for wound care, control of hospital-acquired infections and oral hygiene applications. It's also looking at other uses such as teeth whitening.
The research deal is worth at least $1m a year in royalties over the next 12 years to the Sligo Institute. Some of this will be ploughed back into further research and development at the institute.
The manuka discovery was made by a three-member research at the institute -- Drs James Brennan, John Barrett and Tom Patton.
"During their research into the curative properties of manuka honey they almost by accident discovered a particular synthetic way to produce the same effect and they were able to isolate this" said Niall McEvoy, innovation manager at the Institute.
HemCon, based in Portland, Oregon, aims to commercialise the product. Mr McEvoy said it was examining the possibility of the base product being manufactured in Sligo.

La compañia que les compró la idea
Through some research in Germany, this kind of honey has been shown to treat with great results the wounds sustained by child leukaemia victims.
These wounds did not respond well to man-made antibiotics. Very impressive and a heart warming discovery I’m sure you’ll agree.
Further testing has revealed this special honey mixed with water makes a highly effective energy drink.
Why buy a mixture of chemicals to give you an energy boost which really doesn’t last very long when you could make your own which lasts far longer and is doing you a power of good at the same time!

Pure Ulmo honey is mainly harvested from the natural rain forests of Sothern Chile where the honey bees enjoy an abundance of nectar from which to make their honey. The nectar comes from the very pretty white flower, likened to the camellia, of the Ulmo tree.
When in full bloom the flowers from the Ulmo tree are so thick that you could be forgiven for mistaking from a distance this beautiful sight as a soft white comfortable blanket!
65 beehives were taken from the mountains in the south of Chile (lat -40º) at the begining of winter (28th june) and moved the 12th of July 1000km north (lat -32º) were spring was starting (ie a complete change of flora).
All the colonies were around 5 frames of bees but were not check in detail cause of the rain during the period when moved down the mountain and towards the northen location. All of them were treated with amitraz for varroa in february and given fumagilin for nosema in april.
At their arrival they were treated again for varroa with formic pads, three aplications a week apart (120 ml of 65% formic acid per time). Only J+ and J++ were not treated with formic pads. At the same time 11 different feeding protocols were applied.

Only Nosema was sampled before and after treatment. The frames with bees was evaluated after treatment by the same person (me).
Some of the colonies did not stand the formic treatment and changed the queens. Most did stand the treatments. The colonies without queen or with virgins were taken out of the results computations.

The changed of queen due to formic might be related to the age of the queen.

Discution
1.- Bad experiment, two much treatments at the same time.
2.- Too good environmental conditions (good pollen flow)
3.- Only JfCo sistematically reduced nosemosis, but it is at the same time the treatment with less growing incentive.
J++ and Jf- also reduced nosemosis, but with a higher variation within colonies. J++ is the second worst incentive treatment.
4.- The best spring incentive treatment was J+ but in 4 of the 5 colonies nosema was increased.
5.- The increase of spore load was much higher than expected for a biological growth. I tend to think the increase is related to autum honey consumption with spores (infective reservoir).
