Happy Easter to all the bloggers out there, I hope you have a lovely relaxed weekend.

I don't think for one minute I will be relaxing but this weekend I really don't mind as the family are visiting, sons,daughters, partners and gorgeous grandchildren what more could I want!!

With the weather turning colder it is not a good idea to open up the bees this weekend so I will leave them alone and take a quick look as soon as it warms up again, just to check their stores of food in case they have exhausted them.

Happy Easter!!

Honey Granola

I forgot to add this to my last post, well worth a try!!

I also read a very short book on my Kindle whilst lying in bed on Saturday morning. " Family Honey" this was about a family of beekeepers in USA, going back through the generations. The topic that ran through this book was about the plight of the honey bee, which is very alarming!! we will discuss this at a later stage. There was also a section on Honey recipes where I found a lovely recipe for Granola, a homemade breakfast cereal made from honey and oats, it was delicious and so easy to make.

3 cups porridge oats

1 cup honey

1/4 cup oil

Mix together and bake in a moderate oven, turning every 10 minutes until golden, do not walk away and forget about it or they will burn! Store in an airtight container and serve with fruit and nuts of your choice and cold milk for breakfast, yummy!
