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
In a large pot heat oil and butter. Add all vegetables and saute for 10 minutes. Add water and bring to a boil. Cover pot, reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to a food processor. Pulse on and off until mixture is smooth. Add to water in pot and stir until combined. Bring back to a boil, reduce heat and mix in remaining ingredients. Simmer without boiling for an additional 10 minutes, stirring often.
