The Power Of Honey.

Was searching thru articles tonight on bees and honey and came across a good one that explains how honey can be preserved so long and how it gets its antibiotic properties.

I eat a lot of honey. I prefer it on toast to jellies.

Peanut butter and honey butter sandwiches.

Fried chicken, mashed potatos, fried okra and gravy and biscuits with honey, yummmmm.

Since I have started keeping bees, I have realized how many consume honey. It seems to be a staple item for almost everyone anymore.

Until I harvested my honey this year, I only eat honey that was cooked in prepared foods. Lately, I have been using it to cook with and take a spoonful from time to time.

Almost everyone I talk to believe that it will help them with their allergies, but there is little to no pollen in honey that would help them build up an immunity.

I have always been a honey-aholic. Peanut butter/honey sammiches are a staple.at my house. how much do you sell it for?

I eat honey almost every day in my oatmeal. We buy pure honey from a local bee keeper, like it better than store bought.

I have been selling mine this year for $8 a pint in a glass mason jar with no comb. Seems like the going rate around here. I did not have much to sell, kept most for family.

I'm not always a fan of honey in recipes, but I can eat a lot of it on biscuits, toast, or like gomuddy, mixed with peanut butter and in a peanut butter and honey sandwich.

Honey is said to last indefinately as long as moisture doesn't invade it. They found some in Egypt in a tomb that very ols, don't remember exactly, and it was still edible. Apparently sealed up and stored underground in a super dry climate preserved it.
