honey

DID YOU KNOW?

Honey, like blue agave, is a very stable sweetener -- which explains why it can safely be left out on the counter. Depending upon what flowers the bees visit while gathering nectar, honey can vary in flavor and color, from mild and pale yellow to rich and deeply golden. In the hive, worker bees add enzymes, reduce moisture, and transform the nectar into honey, which they deposit into each cell of the hive's honeycomb. From there, we collect it for our enjoyment.
