Honeybee swarms create more electricity than a storm cloud!

Swarming honeybees can produce a greater electric charge for their density than a thunderstorm cloud.

The discovery came as a surprise when Ellard Hunting at the University of Bristol in the UK and his team were tracking weather at a field station near their university. They noticed their electric field monitors recorded a jump in atmospheric electric charge despite no storm activity. However, at the same time, nearby western honeybees (Apis mellifera) were swarming, a behaviour the insects do when looking for a new home.

It isn’t known if this ability is useful for bees or an accidental product of friction between their wings and the air – like a person rubbing a balloon on their clothes. The charge could serve an unknown purpose as bees use electric fields to forage for food, says Victor Manuel Ortega-Jiménez at the University of Maine.

This is an extremely important observation. This would explain the positive health benefits of having a honeybee hive integrated into house walls, etc. It's not the air, but rather the high ion/electric levels could be exceptionally salutary for people and families. It seems as though it would be akin to "super earthing" or grounding via the additional provision of extremely healthy ion sources. Seems similar to having river attached to your house.

I know nothing about what your talking about but I soooooo want to! We are just about to start building our house, any information about a healthy grounded house would be so much appreciated! Please e plain what you were talking about.

Definitely look up Earthing/grounding topics. The book "Earthing: The most important health discovery ever?" by Ober, Sinatra (MD), and Zucker might be a good start. This is one reason earthen / refined dirt floors can be attractive. The general idea is that by connecting physically with the earth without insulation between your skin and the Earth provides an additional, necessary, flow of ions into your body which is needed for many systemic processes within our systems. In nature, aside from "Earth" and grounding as such, rivers, streams, creeks, and even thunder storms provide a lot of additional ionization that is extremely healthy and necessary for our bodies. We could speculate a lot about this and it might be interesting to shift into the work and research of the late Dr. James DeMeo and his particularly interesting research in Cloud Busting and modifying the weather in regions. (He successfully, for example, brought rain to areas of drought in Africa, Israel, and other areas and offered to save California, but the government rejected his offers - which 100% do work and I have seen the evidence of such.) DeMeo's work may seem unconnected, but it has to do with the flow of energy (hint: the aether actually exists and physics has been twisted up for far over 100 years and is missing a big piece of the puzzle).

So in a similar vein, if bees are able to provide such high levels of energy flow (eg, higher density than storm clouds), then it could be that bees facilitate an Earthing/grounding-like option for homes. This leads me to believe that it is not the bee dust/pollen or other properties that people have thought bees provide to people who are now setting up hives in their windows and attached to their homes, but rather the energy flow that is so salutary and which causes bee keepers to have, statistically, longer lives than non-bee keepers...

As far as practical implementations for Earthing/grounding for a home, it may be possible to attache floors and mats to the literal ground of the house (eg, the copper rod that goes deeply into the ground for the electrical wiring) to facilitate a constant or frequent attachment to receiving ground for the inhabitants of the house.
