Today at the farmer’s market the Honey Man was there! I AM SO HAPPY! Of course, many people at the farmer’s market sell honey, but this is the guy I normally buy from. See, lots of the local honey here is clover honey, the really dark, strong kind. But this guy also sells a really light honey that is super mild and delicious. I’m not sure what flowers the bees make it from, but I have yet to find another like it.
I had meant to buy one of his giant 5lb containers of honey to last me through the winter, but the last few markets in November he was not there. I was so sad. I tried finding lighter honeys at various stores, but none could compare. As the opening of the farmer’s market for the spring approached, I had secret fears that Honey Man’s bees had fled the planet on their bee ship, like so many bees have been doing as of late (they know something we don’t, I am convinced).
But today I am rewarded for my patience! Joyous day! Return of Honey Man! I got home and had the most delightful spoonful of splendor I have had since winter set in. Mmmmmmmmmmm.
Which farmer’s market? Bardstown Road one? If this dude is so awesome he may require checking out.
Yes, Bardstown road one. You’ll recognize him because he only sells honey (do not confuse him with Apple Man, who is selling honey right now). Honey Man also sells jars and beeswax bars and those little wooden honey dippers. Try the light honey. SO DELICIOUS.
Honey is a good food, healthy and sweet. There is some plants that provide material for even better honey that can fight the cold and other ailments. well sho does not like honey? Even the bear likes it.
Coming up next Monday: bee spaceship story.
