I would like to say organic but the bees Go Where they will 

Good for you, good for all the flowers around. Very glad your bees are doing well. 

I love local honey! 🍯 

Yum. And so true on allergy protection. If I have a cough or sore throat going to the pantry for honey works better for me than any store bought cough medicine.  

Nice haul RM! I see some ginger honey glazed veggies in your future 👍😋🥕🐝 

It's very good been ripping out green beans and cucumbers to plant new 

Yes! My eldest daughters and my pulmonologist both recommend home grown honey to help with allergies! Better believe I have a huge glass jar in my pantry!! They look lovely!! 

One question. I had some raw honey, but it does not keep very long, at least once the jar is open. It's there a secret? 

Buying locally produced honey is important to the beekeepers. Their outlay of cash to maintain their hives is substantial. The benefits their bees provide to our local environments are unequalled. Love bees 🐝 love honey 🍯  

Thanks. Mine was kept at room temperature since I also thought it would not go bad. After about a year, it transformed into a thick dark-brown goo that did not smell good. Honey is of course also awesome for hot toddies 😊 

Boy I keep mine on the kitchen counter occasionally it will start to go to sugar but I just put it in hot water and it melts back down I have never had any go bad 

Was it in glass with a screwed on cap tight plastic no good 😕 

I once had beautiful honey with a natural propolis cap on top that I ate promptly on toast 

Yum! Love honey! 

Love honey in my smoothie everyday, keep mine in pantry.  

Looks so good 

WOW! awesome! what a blessing 

Mariel, are you a bee 🐝 keeper?🌺 

1 hive it was my brother who has passed who showed me how 🤔in his honor 🎖 

That would make an excellent ingredient for a hot sauce 😎🌶
