In reply to Susan Carroll. They are putting it on cheeseboards! They also made some pretty fry bread at an event and served it with the fry bread!

The natural honeycomb is beautiful. What did the restaurant do with it?

Melissa, how exciting for your family! Hard work, too. My cousin has kept bees. We also have hives in our neigborhood. They love the Rose of Sharon. I taught at a school with Russian Sage bushes planted around the school. It is a relative of lavender, but grows a lovely 3-4 foot foundation planting. The bees loved these bushes, always gathering nector. The flowers made the bees so gentle, the children would put them in their palms and stroke them with a finger. No one was ever stung. Have fun with your bees, and save plenty of honey for your family.
