    My golf smoothie includes bananas, milk, cocoa, peanut butter, ice and a splash of honey

    Brush honey on hot wings and put them back on the grill for a minute or two

    @Wintonk and @ghostofuga1 This was my 2nd harvest this year, plus I have a hive in Tiger Im hoping will give me some sourwood.   I currently have 8 hives after having two in the Fall, plus I gave three  nucs away to friends.   A few of those were from splits.   I don’t kill queen cells.  I go ahead and split the hive.  I have caught 3 swarms with bait hives and caught two others from phone calls.   I have also done a few cutouts, including a big one on the 4th.  Im a licensed PCO so I charge for the service.   

    Giving honey away has been one of the most gratifying things Ive ever done.  It is amazing how excited and appreciative people are when you give it and explain it came from your own bees.  

    I have nucs I can sell.  Now is a good time to start because you can beef them up with sugar and pollen patties until the goldenrod blooms and then they are ready to over winter and then rock in the Spring.

    @ghostofuga1 @Bankwalker, ghost, sounds like you have your guy for a nuc next year.  

    Sounds like you have this down.  I didn't have enough resources at the time to split my hives that often.  I cannot wait to get back into it when I move back to Georgia.  I will have to hit you up to get the nucs.

    Link is for the honey syrup. I cannot vouch for the baklava recipe. Can use the syrup on sticky buns. or anything that you want sweet in a cinnamony way.

    I've pulled it out and added stuff to spare you from going to the link.

    Honey Syrup

    "Meanwhile, make honey syrup by stirring 1 cup honey with 2/3 cup water, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, small cinnamon stick and 4 pods green cardamom in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 25 minutes. Remove from the heat, remove cinnamon stick and cardamom pods, and set aside to cool slightly."

    Note: The cardamon pods are optional. Can also add some orange zest (orange colored coating - not the white pulp - from an orange) for a citrus kick.

    Every time I buy a jar of honey it never makes it past the hot homemade butter biscuits to try it in anything else.
