How Honey is Made

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

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a mixing bowl beat together butter and honey. Add eggs to mixture and beat well. Blend in buttermilk.
In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda and lemon zest. Add wet ingredients to flour mixture. Mix until flour is moistened. Stir in raisins.
Fill muffin cups ¾ full. Bake for about 17 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
