Today I am a thief. My part in a large gang of professionals who resorted to robbing a bee hive of more than a third of its liquid gold has left me craving the sweet taste of more honey! As I have previously posted, bees are vital to our survival and the mysteries behind the colony collapse disorder have been heralded as the canary in the coal mine for climate change... today, however, we enjoyed the traditional act of robbing a hive, uncapping the frames and extracting the honey in a centrifugal extractor... The honey was much richer and thicker than previous robberies because all the re-vegetation we've done in the area has finally taken off! Mmmmm.... deliciously sweet honey! Now that I have more than 5kg of honey in my possession I've stumbled across some intriguing new recipes to try out. Chocolate addiction has been temporarily overcome with honey addiction! And I can lick my lips all day with my home made honey kissed lip balm!Labels: honey
