Now that Spring is here the bees are out to make some honey.
Honey is believed to offer many medicinal benefits due to its antiseptic cleansing properties as well as satisfying your sweet tooth. It makes a great addition to your tea, toast, yogurt and to many other foods. Learn more about the properties of honey at www.benefits-of-honey.com/
Support local beekeeping to fight the efforts of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD).
Learn more about CCD at USDA.gov
Visit TheBeesNeeds.org for more information on how to get involved.
Common honey product such as Honey Sticks (sometimes spelled Honey Stix) make it easy to enjoy honey anywhere you go. Here is a simple DIY Honey Sticks project.
Before you can begin, you will need a couple supplies.
- Handful of straws (any straight or bendy straw will do)
- Jar of honey
- 1 Lighter or heat sealer
- 1 Syringe (make sure the tip will fit into the straw)
- Pair of scissors
- Paper towels or cloth (it's going to get messy :])

Signing UpStep 1Trim Bendy Straws
Note : If you have straight straws, please move onto step 2.
For this project I was not able to find straight straws, but bendy straws do just fine.
If you have bendy straws, it's a best to first trim off the bendy part a.k.a. the fun part. Use you scissors to separate the straight end from the bendy end. Just like I have.
If you wish for shorter straws, simply cut them to the desired length. I've cut my straws in half.
I would hate to throw away the rest of the straws. It would be great to get suggestions on what to do with these straws.

Seems like a clothespin or binder clip might solve the burning fingers problem, for those of us who aren't Lawrence of Arabia.
