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.

In a large pot heat the oil. Add celery and onions. Saute over medium heat until onions are translucent, stirring occasionally. Add tomatoes and juice, honey, carrots, wine and clam juice to pot. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add potatoes, oregano, hot sauce and salt to taste. Cover again and simmer for 30 minutes, or until carrots and potatoes are tender. Add parsley and fish. Simmer 5 minutes, or until fish is cooked through.
