Mom Talk: Our Bees
August 2nd, 2010 by Expert Experts
This past Spring, our family bought a share in our local CSA farm, and each week this Summer we’ve been enjoying a box of fresh veggies grown for us at “our farm.” Along with yummy organic vegetables and berries, our share allows us access to various extras like fresh eggs from free-range chickens and wool from the resident sheep.
Our very favorite membership perks so far are the giant jars of golden honey we’ve received, made by bees that live right on the farm. We go through a lot of honey at our house, so I was very excited when we had our first taste of “farm honey” and discovered it to be beyond delicious. I went on (at length, knowing me) raving about how special it was that we are able to enjoy honey from the bees who collected nectar from, and pollinated, the very plants we’ve been enjoying our vegetables from.
Apparently, my enthusiasm was contagious (and a bit misleading) because now my daughter regularly asks whether the honey she’s eating is “Bee Honey” or “Store Honey.”
