That's where the bee advice flows a-plenty and the real stories come out.
Like this one.
A local person found a fellow beekeeper through his web site and called. He wanted to make a purchase. Of dead bees.
Yes, dead.
So my fellow beekeeper lifted up the deep and scooped up a cup or so of dead bees. He had to set a price so he charged $5.00.
The happy customer left with their dead bees.
Are wondering what on earth they will do with dead bees? They put them in water and cook them. Then they strain the body parts out, saving the liquid. Then they add alcohol to the water.
And next they drink it. <<gross!>>
Apparently it's very a common health recipe that Polish and Russian people drink.
There you go--another product line a beekeeper can offer for sale. So don't hesitate to join your local bee club and get educated!

I think Gross should be capitalized, with at least one other exclamation point behind it :)
Jim: I think two exclamation points :) !!
Judging by the three smiling faces, the Bee Tea wasn't THAT gross... or was it something else they consumed?
LOL Brad. Those honey salty caramels we were eating were delicious. I'm waiting for the recipe from Janice so that I can post it.
As for the Bee Tea, I think I'll pass on that :)
