ROSE HONEY

“"That buzzing-noise means something.
 If there's a buzzing noise, somebody's
making a buzzing-noise, and the
 only reason for making a buzzing-
noise that I know of is because you're a bee. ....
And the only reason for being a bee
 that I know of is making honey.....
And the only reason for making honey
is so as I can eat it." So he began
 to climb the tree.”

~Winnie-the-Pooh

~Tracey, from Hansen Hootenanny
did a wonderful post on 
rose petal infused honey
and as soon as I saw it I
knew it was something I
wanted to do too.

~ I watched and listened to
 the bees collecting pollen
 and flying back to the hive.

~ I watered, smelled and
watched the roses bloom,
collecting petals.

~ I strained freshly harvested
 honey from the comb one
 drip at a time.

~ I packed the jar tight with
 the honey and petals and
 I've waited....and waited.

~ I opened the jar today
and smelled the sweet
smell of roses and honey~
a blend that made me
almost drool...and as soon
as my Crazy Sexy Diet is
complete I'm having  a spoon
full !
