Things to know inspecting the hives
Dan and I had the opportunity to tour a local bee keeper, Kingsburg Honey. We had the pleasure of meeting with the owner Daren and his children. It was exciting and informative to see the process of honey farming from start to finish!
It was a warmer than expected day. Because the bees were still active Daren carefully supervised while his son lit the smoker.
A light dusting of smoke triggers reflexes in the bees to "save the hive." They quickly ingest honey which slows them down and makes them less likely to sting.
(This is my less than technical version of the explanation! 😂 ) The entire process was fascinating!
Harvesting Organic Honey
In addition to checking out the hives we got to see some of the process of harvest also. This includes a tour of the processing plant and sampling right from a honeycomb!
The process is fascinating the product amazing and to think it's raw, natural and organic and it's all built by bees! Super cool!
Frequently asked questions (FAQ's)
A peanut butter and honey sandwich is the perfect combination of salty, creamy and sweet. Especially if you use crunchy peanut butter! It is a great meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Surprisingly no, the benefits are about the same! Whew.... I'm glad because I do love my jam recipes on the blog! Strawberry, Pomegranate, Orange Jelly - I mean seriously... who would want to give that up!
Have you tasted raw organic honey? Drizzled over the peanut butter, this sandwich is an explosion of flavor. The bright, sweet eruption of sweetness as it touched the roof of you mouth is swoon worthy!
Next time you make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich consider swapping out the jam or jelly for honey instead!

As a blogger there are all kinds of intricate things that you do before you publish a post on your blog.
You start by developing a recipe, researching ingredients or traveling to onsite locations. Next comes photographing the meal, writing a story, the recipe and combining everything together to actually publish a blog.
Additionally before I get started I do keyword research to make sure the topic I'm sharing is time relevant to readers. For instance publishing a hot soup on a 100 degree day isn't always the best decision!
And as you know, the majority of my meals are quick and easy. And this recipe is a classic!
