Did you know that a hive of bees has to fly 55,000 miles to make one pound of honey?

Honey is nature’s “good for you” sweetner, and has many advantages over traditional sweetening methods. Honey not only adds a unique, sweet taste to your coffee or tea, but it can also be used as a spread and in baking. Just substitute your sugar for honey and decrease your liquids by 1/4.  Because honey is a natural humectant (attracts and retains moisture), it will keep your baking moist longer than using cane sugar. Did you know that honey is effective as an anti microbial, which means if you have a cut or wound, the honey will stop the bacteria from growing if applied. Honey is also full of vitamins and minerals so not only will it sweeten you up, it's also good for you!
