It's a Miracle! Bees perform miracles to get only 16oz of honey
Dena Kennedy
The average bee produces only 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. For a 16 oz jar, 1,152 bees have to travel a total of 112,000 miles and visit 4.5 million flowers.

RECIPE I Salted Maple Honey Caramels
Dena Kennedy
This delectable recipe for Salted Maple Honey Caramels uses just four ingredients (one of them is honey!) and there isn't even corn syrup! Give it a try and tell us what you think
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup water
Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
Continue to simmer, stirring frequently, until mixture darkens in color, and begins to “pull away” from the sides of the pan. (You will likely see an increase in the volume of bubbling right before this point.)
To confirm “done-ness”, use the cold water test. Using a spoon, pour a drop of the mixture into a glass of cold water. Mixture should form a ball that stays together, but is still pliable – “soft ball” stage is what we’re going for. If mixture strings out in the water rather than forming a ball, cook for a minute or two longer and try again.
Pour caramel into a parchment-lined 8×8 inch pan. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt if desired. Allow to cool completely before cutting. (It’s ok to place in the fridge to speed up the cooling.)
