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

Preheat oven to 350°.
Toast oats in oven for 5 to 7 minutes, or until light brown.
Combine raisins with 2 tablespoons hot water in a small bowl and set aside.
Whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. In another bowl whisk together egg, egg white, brown sugar, honey, oil, prune filling and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients and mix until just moistened. Stir in toasted oats, raisins with soaking liquid and carrots.
Drop batter by rounded tablespoon onto baking sheets that are coated with non-stick cooking spray. Bake for 15 minutes, or until tops spring back when touched.
