Bees

   Yesterday my dad, Pappy B, Ryder and I went to a local apiary and picked up two packages of bees that we ordered.  Our hives didn't make the winter and it was so upsetting.  The bees are wonderful and do such a great job at pollinating! We value them for our blueberry bushes. We are planning on expanding our patch this year so we will definitely be needing their help.
   Honey is so good and I like it equally as much as maple syrup.  It tastes so good in tea and is good for a bout of sore throat along with other uses.  I regularly substitute honey for brown sugar when I make bread.  I can eat it straight off a spoon or slather it on a piece of warm, buttered bread.
   Do you like honey? If so, how do you enjoy it?

  1. Oohhh, honey on freshly baked homemade bread is one of the best things!

    Sorry to hear that your bees didn't survive the winter.
