Search and rescue efforts were delayed due to 35 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 2: severe weather and strong swells.

University of Sydney scientists 41 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: tested honey from three species of stingless bees, known as 42 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: sugar bag bees. The honey from all three successfully killed 43 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: germs even after being heated up or kept in storage 44 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: for lengthy periods. Researchers believe it could be used to 45 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: help fight antibiotic resistance. This is because the native bee 46 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: honey is able to fight germs in multiple ways, making 47 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: it harder for bacteria to become resistant to it. Sugar 48 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: Bag bee honey is used in First Nation communities as 49 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: a traditional remedy for itchy skin and saws.
