BCN Honey Fest 2018

Last Saturday 29th there was the second BCN Honey Fest edition, an event where honey is the main issue.

The Jardins de Sant Pau del Camp at Raval (Barcelona) hosted an action where all about honeywas shown, from honeycomb boxes...

... to tools for honey removing.

Even there was a place for innovation, because there were new honeycomb boxes that can be put some over others to make a huge bee community.

Obviously, there could be bought honey and related products as mead or beer.

At Sant Pau del Camp monastery, there were very interesting speeches, as the one by Carol Obiol about Apitherapy, that means a way to apply with medicaal benefits all bee products.

Oh... and bees... I was surprised because I found many of them flying free by Jardins de Sant Pau del Camp in a peaceful way, withouth stinging no one. I thought they knew they were the real stars of the day.

"Nutrició, impuls vital" exhibition

There are few days left to enjoy "Nutrició, impuls vital" exhibition at Museu Blau of Barcelona. The last day is May 29th.

It is something no one can miss. It is interesting for people who enjoy cooking and for the ones that eating is something just for living.

It starts with a visual media piece that shows quickly the food fact in a historical perspective. The place where the media is played is also filled with historical data about food.

It was so interesting to now how ancient is bread baking.

And how important was the Egyptian role at food pleasure with beer invention.

A nutritional pyramid gives entrance at the central part of the exhibition.

The big part of "Nutrició, impuls vital" is divided in different parts, where all the exixting food (eggs, cereals, meat, fruit...) is treated and shown.

Scientific theory and playful tones are mixed in a way that accurate information is transmitted in a pleasant and a understandable way.

You cannot miss it. You have a good chance next May 21st at Nit dels Museus.
