Honey Tips

Honey Bees Need Water

To keep their hives strong, beekeepers must place them in locations that will provide abundant nectar sources as well as water.

Directions

In a large pot heat olive oil. Toss stew meat with flour to coat. Add to hot oil and cook 5 minutes until beef is browned on all sides. Add onion. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add garlic and stir.
Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer over a low heat for 1 hour stirring occasionally. Uncover and continue to simmer for 30 more minutes.
