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

Using a sharp knife, cut a slit into the bottom crust of bread to make a small pocket. Put a spoonful of filling into the pocket of each slice. Dip bread in batter, turn and dip other side to coat. Place in a heated skillet that has been brushed with a small amount of butter or margarine. Cook over medium low heat, turning several times until cooked through, approximately 3-5 minutes per side. Serve topped with strawberry slices and drizzled with the honey lemon sauce. Serves 3-4.
