Jeff went to a beekeeping class on Saturday at Pennypack Farm and Education Center and scored two jars of honey that he extracted himself.
Here are some fun facts he shared with me that I thought you might enjoy as well:
- 1/3 of the calories we consume are because of the pollination of honey bees.
- Honey bee stings are a medically acknowledged cure for arthritis inflammation.
- Male bees, called Drones, have no other job than mating with a queen all the time.
- One pound of honey = 2 million flowers
Hi Guys! I'm trying to catch up on my RSS – it's been a WHILE! I've really enjoyed reading your blog posts and can't wait to see you both on Saturday! Keep up the good work!!! I can't wait to hear more about the mason bees next spring – great idea!
Cool facts and fun class!
Beautiful color! I'm pretty sure these taste glorious!
