Great post Lydia. So profound the bee's and their honey. Simply amazing isn't it. Have a wonderful day dear friend
ReplyDeleteHello Jamerson,
ReplyDeleteYes bees and their honey are both very profound. I love honey. It's always in my house. I love having it on whole grain toast every morning and in my tea at night.
I just received a free jar of honey from a beekeeper who makes honey, who also knows my hubby and it's delicious. I think beekeeping and making honey would be a very exciting hobby and interesting job.
Wishing you a great night,
Lydia
So many great uses for honey.
ReplyDeleteLike you Lydia, I too love honey and always have it in my tea.
Very good post ... thank you!

Hello Margie,
ReplyDeleteHoney is so much better to use than sugar when you need to sweeten things. It's much healthier.
Have a great Sunday,
Lydia
