Martha,
Listening to NPR yesterday, I was unaware that the average age of beekeepers is 70 years old. It would be nice if a high-profile person like yorself would make this info available to the public and support the introduction of beekeeping to the younger generation. We need new blood in the beekeeping business.

I'm a beekeeper and love bees!. I have some pictures of a honey-harvest I did back in 2006 if you want to share with your readers. (http://tradescantapiaries.blogspot.com/)

Also I run a website called http://www.savethehives.com to help track wild honey bees across the country. Research scientists at the University of North Carolina are doing genetic research on these feral honey bees in the hopes of finding out why they are surviving when so many of our managed honey bees are dying. If your readers are interested, they can visit the site and look for the Map to see if they live near a reported feral honey bee colony - they are great for your garden!

Should I leave my address here or can you just bring my jar when you come to So. California this week? Either way is fine with me. Lol!

We get your show in Israel about half a year after filmed (we just got your cupcake week) and I enjoy it
However most of your recipies are not kosher or have non-kosher ingredients (milk or butter with meat) can you mention or even write below what can be used instead
I tried your rosemary/garlic chicken with crusty potatoes excellent - I used olive oil instead of butter can you help in this area
Perhaps you canadd it to the site
Thank you

Congratulations on the honey:) That's wonderful. I love the picture of the different shades. You see the golden from the sunlight and then gets darker as you go through the picture.

Take care and God Bless!!

What a great blog post. I am a bee lover myself. Such a noble insect! I dream someday of having my own hives on a bit of propery somewhere!

Martha,
Every summer I would stay with my grandparents, and help grandpa with his bees. What wonderful, wonderful memories.

Canning seems like such a daunting, difficult process to me. I'm always in awe of people who do it, and do it successfully.

That's one impressive honey harvest! So pretty in all those jars, too. I have a friend locally who's uncle keeps honey--then his son makes mead! Clever, clever, clever.

Or should I say clover?
