Do all honeybees sting?

No, not all honeybees sting… as a matter of fact, it is the boy honeybee called the “Drone” that does not sting! A drone is shown in the picture below on the tip of my husband’s finger.

This delightful children’s book is a great educational tool. The information provided about bees and the roles each of them play in the production of honey is very informative. The colorful cover and illustrations positively add to the reading pleasure and learning experience.

Talented Author Virginia Wright clearly demonstrates her varied creative abilities as well as her desire to initiate and encourage learning opportunities for children. In her well-researched book…reading is made both fun and beneficial. I would surmise that this is the goal and greatest aspiration for most authors of children’s books and “Buzzzzzzzz…: What Honeybees Do” manages to do just that!

Honey Topping Recipe

1 package Neufchâtel cheese
1/3 cup pure honey
1 tsp. pure vanilla ( Mexican vanilla in recipes is my fav!)

Honey Butter

Mix ingredients together, and Voila! This simple, but tasty topping is all ready for your carrot cake, and is great on top of fresh-made cinnamon rolls. If you would like more topping, just double the recipe.

NOTE: When you can, buy honey from a local beekeeper. Some manufacturers, so I am told, who sell a honey blend (honey mixed with corn syrup). They do this– to stretch the honey. If you buy locally, from a local beekeeper, chances are you will get PURE HONEY. You have every right to ask… then get only the best!
