Did you know that honey is nectar mixed with the enzymes in a honey bees stomach and regurgitated into honey comb! In other words, honey is bee vomit!
However, it still tastes good and is extremely good for you, but I won't go into all that in this post. :) Actually, I posted today to tell you that we have started our spring honey harvest! We took 3 supers of honey off of our hives 2 weeks ago and started spinning it out last night. So far we have about...3 gallons! We aren't done spinning yet, so I'll tell you the final number later! For now I need to wash the stickiness off the dining room floor, and table, and chairs so we can eat lunch. :)
Have a blessed day!

I did not know that. That is fairly interesting! In preschool (I still remember this moment vididly) we got to watch a bee keeper use on of those little things that blows something out of it if you pump it and he reached in and pulled out the thing where all of the honey was. I still remember finding it amazing!

How cute! I know when I was little I saw a bee charmer in a movie, fried green tomatoes I think, and ever since then I always wanted to be a beekeeper. Now, God allowed me to, and I have so much fun!
ReplyDeleteHoney bees are truly a magnificent part of God's creation! And honey too!
