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

Heat margarine in a large pot over medium heat. Add the carrots, onion, garlic, leek, and celery; dust with flour and stir, reducing heat. Cover and cook until vegetables are soft, approximately 10 minutes. Add chicken stock and beer. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and add vinegar, honey, pepper, bay leaf and lentils. Cover and simmer until lentils are soft, 30 to 40 minutes. Serves 6-8.
