How Honey is Made

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

Directions

Mix together beets, chives and parsley. Set aside.
In a small bowl, stir mustard, honey and vinegar until smooth. Pour over beet mixture and toss to coat thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with walnuts. Marinate at room temperature for several hours before serving.
