I thought about posting images of the dishes on Day 3, but I decided against sharing detailed results here in case someone wanted to try the experiment on their own. However, I can tell you that the floor and TV remote were NASTY. While there were definite clearings around the real honeys on Day 2, by day 3, those bacteria had completely taken over the plates -- horizontally and vertically, too. However, it would've been interesting to see what would've happened if we'd continued to apply honey.<br /><br />The mouth plate had clearings only around the manuka, fall honey, and antibacterial cream. Actually, we got very little bacterial growth on the mouth plates overall, so maybe my daughter's immune system is doing its job. <br /><br />Toilet -- There were clearings only around the real honeys. The average clearing around the manuka and fall honey was 14 mm. Spring was 11 mm.<br /><br />Garbage -- Only the Manuka honey was effective. I don't remember the exact measurements, but I recall that it was something whopping -- like over 20 mm. However, on Day 2, there were clearings around the spring and fall honeys, too, so perhaps they would have been more effective with reapplication. <br /><br />The plastic bear honey was definitely the worst. Even by Day 2 it was showing growth around the hole. Our guess is that it must have been cut with syrup of some sort.<br /><br />My girl definitely got to answer a lot of questions, but our school doesn't have any actual judging. The woman who runs it sort of subscribes to the everyone-gets-a-medal philosophy. Maybe that's ok since a lot more kids have been entering since she took over. (Less than 20 kids when my oldest was there to over a 100 entries this year.)Juliehttp://happyhourtopbar.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1347024209749983628.post-6167976738240941822017-04-07T22:51:57.103-04:002017-04-07T22:51:57.103-04:00What a cool experiment!

It's a shame she can't do a longer term project with active bees - although perhaps in first grade that might not go as well as one might hope. Thanks for the sharing the results, and hope the judges appreciated the idea and the effort.Erikhttps://beeswitheeb.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1347024209749983628.post-12382673842167357762017-04-07T03:26:57.471-04:002017-04-07T03:26:57.471-04:00LOL!

However, with definite clearings about them, both Manuka and my local honeys were pretty effective at holding them at bay. Not even a bit of clear space around the antibiotic cream or plastic bear "honey."<br /><br />Though the worst were the TV remote and floor just in terms of covering the entire plate and growing vertically as well as horizontally. I guess the takeaways from those two were 1) Wear gloves if you're going to use the remote and 2) Maybe the 3-second rule isn't such a great idea. :-)Julie Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09965401314478095790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1347024209749983628.post-54362468039272414182017-04-06T15:43:17.172-04:002017-04-06T15:43:17.172-04:00From the picture, it looks like your toilets are p...From the picture, it looks like your toilets are pretty bacteria free! ;-) What a great project with some interesting results!
