Yesterday, on CBC's Weekend Morning Show with host Nadia Kidwai, I presented the some of the wonderful honey that we have in Manitoba. The bees and the honey producers work very hard to provide us with this wonderful product. There is a great range of flavours, due to the different flowers that the bees access.
Featured above, at the CBC Studio are:
Ferris Farm Creamed Honey (
Downtown Hydro Market,
Wolesley Farmer's Market),
BeeProject Apiary North End and St. Boniface Neighbourhood Honeys (BeeSpace @ 196 Osborne), Giguere Honey Farms Creamy Cinnamon, Wildflower, Dandelion, Natural, Creamed, and Buckwheat Honeys (
St. Norbert's Farmer's Market,
Argy's Records). Not shown,
Phil's Honey.
Some things about Bees and Honey:
- Bees are a great environmental health indicator species.
- Honey is the only natural food that does not go bad.
- It is a pure product.
- It will granulate eventually, just enjoy it more!
- Canada #1 is not neccessarily Canadian. It is a grade. Buy Local!
- Honey has a big taste. Spread it thinly than other spreads to enjoy without too many calories.
- BUY LOCAL! Manitoba honey is spectacular! Local beekeepers need support. There were big losses in Manitoba last winter.
- Enjoy!
