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.

Add remaining ingredients to blender. Blend until smooth. Pour liquid into a bowl. Stir in diced cucumber pieces. Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until very cold, about two hours. Top each serving with a sprinkle of the chopped fresh dill.
