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.

Place sliced berries and honey in a blender. Process until smooth. Pour mixture through a fine sieve to remove seeds. In a bowl, whisk together strawberry juice and apple cider. Stir in seltzer. Add gin if desired.
