URBAN BEE KEEPING TALK AND HONEY HARVESTING - SHAHEED PARK

"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would only have four years to live" - Albert Einstein, read the flyer placed on every seat for the guests. I didn't know these amazing little hard working miracle insects were so vital for our existence!

The urban bee keeping talk at the beautifully landscaped open air Circle of Peace in Shaheed park yesterday was something quite intriguing, inspiring and educational. The talk was held as a part of green week program  to create awareness among people on the importance of bee keeping to promote and sustain the honey bee communities from declining or perishing. There is no insect in the world that provides us honey and related consumer foods that has a huge variety of health and healing benefits known to man since ancient civilizations. In alternative and natural medicine honey is given great importance.

Honey bees can be raised in our gardens and balconies or on our property. 'Just Bee' is a local bee products company that will install bee hive for you and explain everything you need to know. When it's time, they would have the honey harvested for you.  According to 'Just Bee', you can contribute to urban bee keeping as the bees being pollinators strongly influence floral diversity, plant eco system and stability. Do you know the honey bees make more honey than they consume!

The local Sidr honey is mostly from cedar trees. Its important to plant flowers and cedar trees to help the bee communities flourish. Pesticides and insecticides on plants can disorient bees and it's harmful for them as they can't fly back to their hives. So its important to grow plants without the use of pesticides and insecticides. A bee can travel up to 5 kilometers to get nectar from flowers or trees. Apparently there are 500 bee keepers in Kuwait and 10,000 bee hives. Honey harvested from different places in the same country tastes different and the color is different too. Kuwait won gold medal in Korea for 'best honey competition' last year, where over a 100 countries participated .

During the talk, we were shown  a transparent box with lots of female bees, some male bees and honeycomb.  After the talk, we were shown live honey harvesting, followed by a tasting session. The honey was rich and dark in color and tasted amazing.

You can contact 'Just Bee' for pure natural honey. They will deliver it to your home. As mentioned earlier, if you are interested, they can install beehives for you and harvest honey as well.  Their contact is at the bottom of my post. Here are some photos from the event.

TALK ON SOLVING MYSTERIES OF MEN AT TIES CENTER

Dr. Mohammed Al-Banay

Yesterday, I had posted about this Seminar ‘Solving mysteries of  Men’ at TIES Center in South Surra. Well, it was an interesting Seminar and the ladies had lots of questions and sought advise and clarifications on various personal issues faced between men and women. Dr. Mohammed Al Banay who conducted this, is a psychologist, an NLP Trainer and a black belt in Karate.

In a nutshell, let me share some of Dr. Banay's  important tips for women. Share your husband’s interests like football or whatever hobby. Don’t tell him too many things at one time. Men are goal oriented and women are process oriented. So tell him exactly what you want or what you wish of him to do, one thing at a time. Don’t expect him to read your mind or know what you are feeling. Don’t ask him to take you to several places one after the other on the same day, ask him to take to one place.  Tell him in advance something you both need to do together or going out and give him a few reminders . Tell him in advance and give him a list and remind him of the groceries or stuff he needs to get for the home. Sit with him, spend time with him when he watches T.V. Show interest in the topics he likes to talk about. Men feel they are always right, because they feel responsible for their wife and children and he does not like  his wife to think he is wrong…and wrong could mean a deficit from his part in terms of inability to fulfill his role as the head of the family. Due to sense of responsibility comes this inhibition. 

He pays attention to his parents and siblings as much as he needs to pay attention to his wife and children out his sense of duty. Dr. Banay also stressed that men should provide the psychological atmosphere for his wife to be able to happily  take care of home and raise children. Providing for the wife, also includes the husband must provide the right atmosphere, love and consideration for her so she can be the best wife and mother. And a word of advise for women…Don’t let yourself go…after getting children. Take care of your health…if you put on weight, do take care…exercise and keep fit. And also talk to your husband, show him you love him and care for him. If he forgets to tell you he loves you, you could remind him and he will tell you that he loves you ! Don’t ignore the little things he expects of you. Men who stay away from home for long hours (away from his wife) is unhappy or having issues due to  marital discords.

Dr. Mohammed Al Banay gives private personal counseling to men and women related to relationships and marital issues to help couples have a happy and healthy marriage. People who have marital issues and discords are sometimes reluctant or shy or afraid to seek help. When they get professional guidance or counseling, it helps  to improve their relationship and quality of life. You can contact the TIES Center  for Dr. Mohammed Al Banay's details and contact information,  if you want to get in touch with him. Thankyou TIES Center for arranging this Seminar.

SOLVING THE MYSTERIES OF MEN - TIES CENTER

Attention Ladies, TIES Ladies Club is organizing a seminar titled ‘Solving the Mysteries of Men’ by Dr. Mohammed Al-Banay at 6pm to 8.30pm TODAY, at the TIES Center.  Men…hmm... Sometimes women do find it difficult to understand them. Wouldn’t you want all those questions and doubts about men to be answered, mysteries that surround their attitudes and behaviours to be unraveled? Well, I am sure men feel the same way about women….that ladies too can be a bit confusing and difficult to understand. Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus and they have been sent to earth to learn to live amicably, despite differences, to learn that peace and understanding is possible between opposites. LOL. I am attending the seminar, how about you? My husband wonders, if I still need to understand men…I said, Yes I do. So ladies, do try to attend this interesting seminar. (It’s free, followed by complimentary dinner). See the announcement below for more details on the topics that will be covered in the seminar.
