Celebrate Honey Month!

Hey readers,

September is Honey Month! Celebrate bees and honey all month long. This holiday was created to raise awareness about beekeeping and using honey as a healthy sweetener instead of sugar.

Here are some fun facts about honey:

• The oldest jars of honey were more than one thousand years old!
• Over twenty-thousand bees are needed to create just one jar of honey. That’s a lot of hard work!
• Honey is self-preserving. This means that honey can never go bad because it has so many nutrients, that bacteria can’t survive in the honey.
• Bee farmers in the United States have bees that produced purple honey- and they don’t even know how it happened!

Do you know fun facts about honey? Let us know in the comments!

Talk to you later,
