What is even better than honey? Holiday treats made with honey!

I have been busy making classic treats like baklava, caramels and roasted nuts -- all with honey -- for my honey shop.

Pair them with my most popular honey products as the perfect gift for someone special or as a treat for yourself. The deluxe honey assortment includes a bottle of raw honey, a jar of cinnamon vanilla creamed honey, a lavender beeswax lotion bar, 2 pieces of baklava in bakery box, honey vanilla caramels individually wrapped and honey roasted almonds/cashews in small baggie. Price: $35 plus shipping if not local.

Or, get just the baked goodies (baklava, caramels and nuts) for $15 plus shipping.

No matter what you choose, it will be a hit. And remember, when you get honey from a local beekeeper, like Blondie's Bees & Balms, you support local and small.

Despite all the hoopla with my bees this spring, I was able to harvest honey a couple of weeks ago. So, I have fresh honey available if anyone is interested. I also made three varieties of creamed honey this year: mango lime habanero (added the lime this year to beef up the citrus), cinnamon vanilla (especially good this time around), and chocolate raspberry (creamed honey's version of nutella with a raspberry twist). Prices are: 16 oz honey $12; 8 oz honey $7; vanilla infused honey $9; and 4 oz creamed honey $7 each. Prices for local only. Contact me for prices with shipping.

Valentine's Day gift idea!

Nothing is more romantic or regal than dark chocolate. Why not pair it with another delicacy, mango habanero creamed honey, for a healthy twist on sweet? I stumbled on this pairing when I tried the honey and discovered it has aged strong. I surmised it might be good with chocolate. Sure enough, an equal amount of honey and chocolate is delicious! And the antioxidants and flavonoids of chocolate combined with all the amazing benefits of honey make it a treat you can easily justify.

Great as a Valentine's Day gift. If you'd like me to do the work, I can wrap a giant bar of dark chocolate (just under 6 oz) and a jar of mango habanero creamed honey in a gift bag and decorate it with a pretty ribbon and tissue for $12. Or, if you prefer, any variety of my creamed honey is $7 per jar.

"Telling the bees" is an English custom in which bees are told of significant events in the lives of their keepers to ward off bad luck. In reality, bees can tell us beekeepers far more than we can tell them. In my latest blog, I write about some of the lessons I have learned tending my bees over the past five years.

We can all bee better human bee-ings and lead richer, fuller lives by emulating the bees. Discover what I have learned from tending my bees.

Congratulations and best wishes as you begin your journey together as husband and wife!
