Honey=Yummy
Doesn't it?

I know most people just use it to slather onto a grapefruit or squeeze into their tea. But what does it take to get all that sweet goodness from the bee to you food?

Honey Facts

It takes about 2 MILLION flowers and bees working together to create one Lb. of honey

In it's entire lifetime the average bee only produces 1 1/2 tablespoons of honey.

and here's the kicker the average American eats 1.31 POUNDS of honey in a year!
wow we really make those little guys work to keep giving us that yummy sweet stuff : )

Recipe

I got this recipe from honey.com and tweaked it a bit. I wanted something a bit more savory so i added some green onion but you can make it sweet with a little fruit too! This would be a great recipe for a tea party with the kids.
