How Honey is Made
To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings.

Spray two 8-cup muffin tins with cooking spray or line them with paper liners. In a large bowl sift together dry ingredients.
Cream butter and brown sugar together in a separate bowl. Add eggs and beat well. Stir in milk, honey and sweet potato puree; mix well.
