If winnie the pooh was civilized enough to keep his honey in jars, why did he eat it off his hands?

Answer 1

I fling Pooh. He licked to lick his sweet nails clean.

Honey is a sweet and viscous fluid produced by honeybees and other insects from the nectar of flowers. "The definition of honey stipulates a pure product that does not allow for the addition of any other substance. This includes, but is not limited to, water or other sweeteners," according to the United States National Honey Board 2003 and other nations' food regulations. This article refers exclusively to the honey produced by honeybees (the genus Apis); honey produced by other bees or other insects has very different properties.

Honey is significantly sweeter than table sugar and has attractive chemical properties for baking. Honey has a distinctive flavor which leads some people to prefer it over sugar and other sweeteners.

Liquid honey does not spoil. Because of its high sugar concentration, it kills bacteria by plasmolysis. Natural airborne yeasts cannot become active in it because the moisture content is too low. Natural, raw honey varies from 14% to 18% moisture content. As long as the moisture content remains under 18%, virtually no organism can successfully multiply to significant amounts in honey.

The study of pollens and spores in raw honey (melissopalynology) can determine floral sources of honey. Because bees carry an electrostatic charge, and can attract other particles, the same techniques of melissopalynology can be used in area environmental studies of radioactive particles, dust, or particulate pollution.

Answer 2

Civilized?He doesn't wear PANTS! Ever wonder about that?I just hope his hands are clean when he eats that honey.I mean,he doesn't even seem to own a pair of pants.Someone should be mortified.Either all of the others,or Pooh himself because the others aren't offended.

Answer 3

He is a bear and in the natural environment bear won't have a spoon to eat honey. Therefore, he is eating it with his hands.

Answer 4

I don't think he has spoons and even if he did, maybe he finds it more tasteful. Also it goes with the whole cartoon that imitates a bear, and bears usually eat honey with their paws.

Answer 5

Because you can't hold a spoon in a paw! (no opposable thumbs - physical disability not lack of civilization!)

Answer 6

I think we've all done it, secretly. I've stuck my fingers in the Nutella before.
Haven't you ever put Hula Hoops on each of your fingers and then eaten them off?

Answer 7

Because his cute little hands were so chubby he couldn't hold a spoon!

Answer 8

silly, pooh bear didn't have enough fingers to hold a fork!

Answer 9

It's the only way to eat it. Just like Poi.

Answer 10

So he could wipe his *** without getting it sticky with honey.
