I absolutely love bees and I really love Honey! I usually have one or two cups of tea a day with fresh Honey from our farm. Nothing like fresh Honey. I don't raise the bees myself as I am allergic to bees , but we have a bee farmer who farms them on our farm and gives us 2 gallons a year. I was watching a show on bees the other night and did you know most of the Honey that is imported into the united States is watered down with syrup so your not getting 100% Honey. The supply for Honey does not meet the consumption needs as well. So, if you see a local farmer selling his Honey be sure and buy from him to get the real 100% pure Honey. Sure it may be more expensive but if I was buying Honey I wouldn't want syrup-ed up honey. I am very lucky to get fresh from our farm.
Since I am in a recycling mode I thought this container (Dog Biscuits) I used as a form would make a great Bee bank. I really love creating these banks and I loved how it look more like a whimsical piece than a bank. So you could use it as a decoration and no one would know it's a bank.
Of course I had to make her as a Queen Bee and she is saving all her pennies in her Honey Pot. I placed a slot in the back and the head screws off to empty the bank. This piece is fairly tall almost 17" and very weighty as I used a ton of sculpting compound. This is a One Of A Kind Bank and it will "bee" hard for this bee lover to part with her, but I will be listing her with the other listings on January 18th 10 am eastern time.
I was going to give her eye lashes but my supply was out so I may yet we shall see and I think she may need some bling on that crown. hmmm.
Do You have a favorite recipe using Honey?? If so I would love to hear it.
Blessings!
