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

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add salt if desired. Add string beans and cook for 4 minutes. Remove immediately to a colander with slotted spoon.
Using the same pot of water, cook pasta until just al dente. Rinse with cold water and drain thoroughly.
