Beezy Beez Honey tastes good on a lot of things- and makes vegetables taste even better! With this easy to prepare "Fruit and a Veggie" Spinach Salad, you can get your greens while enjoying Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey. To maintain a healthy lifestyle , it often takes a lot of commitment and preparation to meal planning. Fruits and vegetables are the energy that keeps humans healthy, and while many vegetables have a bitter taste that several reject, raw and crunchy vegetables can be a great alternative to consuming nutritious food if you just can't stomach the flavor of wet, mushy, cooked greens. This recipe has a lot to offer, and makes a great appetizer, side dish, or even as a main course! 

Eating greens doesn't have to be dreadful, and by finding something you enjoy, it will become easier to adjust to new flavors. Spinach is one of the vegetables I enjoy the most, and while I can only enjoy it cooked if it's tucked into cheesy scrambled eggs (Yes, I put cheese on EVERYTHING!) I really do love raw spinach leaves prepared as a salad, and with raw spinach being a darker and even more healthier substitute for romaine lettuce, its freshness is retained by buying the freshest bag of spinach available at your go-to grocery store or farmer's market, and washing the leaves in water lightly, good enough to clean them from any dirt that may have gotten lost during the harvesting process. Too much water can cause the spinach to lose its crunchy texture, and the crunch is one of the best parts of eating this salad featuring Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey!

There are also many benefits to eating spinach, including Iron, Fiber, Antioxidants, Cancer prevention, and Vitamins K, A, and C.

To make this special salad, you will need:

1 salad bowl

1 bag of spinach, uncooked

1 apple, cut into cubes or small bite size pieces

1 container of almonds (skip this if you have nut allergies)

1 bag of cranberry raisins- also known as "craisins"

1 Jar or Tube of Beezy Beez Honey, which you can buy here or in our store: https://bzbwholesale.com/collections/100-raw-local-honey

2 drops of Balsamic vinegar, to add more flavor if you like dressing.

To prepare your salad, add the bag of raw spinach leaves into a salad bowl. Then, toss leaves using tongs or a large spoon. Once your leaves are placed, cut up an apple into bite size pieces or slices, and mix into the leaves. Add 1 cup of almonds and spread among the leaves and apples, then add craisins and do the same. When each of the main ingredients are in, consider using 2 small drops of Balsamic vinegar if you like salad dressing. Finally, on top of everything, add the Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey on the leaves and apples. You now have a crunchy and nutritious green salad, with fruits and nuts to compliment the flavor of healthy eating.

There would not be such a thing as delicious, raw local honey if not for pollination. Pollination is an important and valuable part of a honey bee’s life cycle, and sets the bees on a track to preserving their colony, or home, as well as making enormous contributions to the environment. 

The term pollination refers to the function of pollen among flowers. Pollen is the main source of energy and protein for honey bees, and as the bees transfer pollen from one plant to another, this gives the plants the sources they need to produce the healthiest crops, including fruits, vegetables, and legumes. Bees thrive inside and outside of their hives, especially in areas that are flower-heavy. When the bees swarm across a field of flowers, they collect nectar and pollen, which is beneficial to them developing larvae in the hive, for reproduction of their own species as well as the reproduction of flowers and other plants. 

Flowers are made up of more than just the pretty colored petals we see every spring. On every flower there are: 

sepals (which open and fold back, making an opening for the budding petals) .

Filaments, which are stalk-like structures that support the pollen-producing anthers. 

Pollen grains, which contain genetic material of a male that is transported into the female structures known as stigmas. 

Then, there are ovules (female structure at the base of a plant, that becomes fertilized) and nectaries which produce nectar for animal visitors like bees to collect.

One of the most common flowers for bees to pollinate is the "Bee Balm", which are hot pink in color and bloom in the spring. Others include the  Asters, with daisy-like purple petals, Goldenrods, and the famous Sunflower. 

Bees are known to be foragers, or harvesters and gatherers. Because bees are foragers, they collect food and nutrients for the colony and the flowers they pollinate. The bees' hairy fuzz-like texture helps them attract pollen and finding a space to pollinate. Honey bees, or worker bees, may also take their collected quantities of nectar and pollen back to the hive and pour it into the honeycomb, thus beginning the honey making process.

Pollination is important so that bees can remain alive and healthy, even when humans are afraid of them. Bees bring so much to our world that sometimes, humans forget to consider all of the good things bees bring us. So, before freaking out if one is flying around, let them bee. Without the process of pollination, there would be no way for bees to make raw honey like Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey. Pollination is the job the bees get done, keeping them "beezy" while helping the world around them.
