HONEY, its good stuff

[WPOZZZ]

I have aged honey from Korea. It can be a little spicy at times and too much to handle.

I think it's just a carrier for the honey...fully saturated.
Kinda like using crackers for dip...or eating dip with a spoon.

I used honey to wean myself off (cane) sugar.

My inner self would say "Pleeease, I beg of you, some sugar please." My outer self would say "I'll meet you half way Mate, how about some honey instead?" And it worked.

Ahh, it is like those wax tubes with flavored sugar water we had as kids!

Grew up helping my dad with his bee keeping hobby and last year, I found one of my neighbors has 11 hives hidden in his backyard. That explains the honey bees in the yard. Not sure what the bees are using to make honey since we are surrounded by oak trees, maple trees and peat bog. They make good honey.

After reading rfuerst911sc’s post on septic systems, and reading the title to this thread about honey, I thought it was going to be about honey dippers… 💩

You boys are so lucky you live where you can get a good biscuit! Most of the country outside of the south has no idea, especially here in NM..

Many years ago I worked at a Popeyes. A section of the back was devoted to biscuit making. There was one guy whose only job was making biscuits from scratch. They made great biscuits. We got to take home any leftovers at the end of the night. My parents loved it.

No idea if things are the same now 35-40 years later.

Great story about Honey, Bee's and veteran's as seen on RFD TV.

There is a local chain, Biscuitville (been around forever) and the buiscuit maker is right up front next to the register...

When they started charging .25 for a cup a couple of years ago... they lo$t a customer tho' .

Gravy biscuits will make you FAT .... so there is that !

If you have allergies, local honey is supposed to help .... I dunno?

I have NEVER had gravy with biscuits. I love a good biscuit, but eat them with butter, honey, jam/jelly/preserves, or as a savory sandwich (cheese, eggs, meat, etc...).

And my mom's side of the family is from the South. I had a buddy that used to get biscuits and gravy from the cafeteria in college. The gravy looks nasty to me.

Yumm....

At work, we have acres of green space around the test track. I want to see if Kia would grow wildflowers in the space to help the pollinators, not to mention it would beautify the space.

Where does one get a good plant that can help bees? I was told Lowes and HD are pretty toxic for bees. People complain about the environment but they all want perfect lawns and love golf. Amazed Roundup is still around.
Back to honey, add to wife’s tea every morning.

We have a " bee guy " right around the corner from us . We have planted various flowers that the bees/butterflies/hummingbirds like . His bees are at our house all the time . Our above ground eco system we buy his honey , it's good stuff .

I would try to find out what pollinator plants are native in your area first, because those will be the healthiest and happiest and require the least maintenance. Check the links below, especially the second one. And you can also search google for "plants for pollinators" or maybe add your location to the search to find out what would be good in your specific area. The bottom link below does include some rough geographic area specifics.
