Sesame Honey

38768BC1-E967-4D6C-8618-35299A998FD5.jpegA few nights ago, Andy and I transferred the beehives from our bee yard on the Ogeechee River to our back yard on Sesame Street. It was done just in time because the sesame is blooming.

This will be our first time working with sesame and we are eager to see how things unfold for the bee’s sake and ours. We need to expand our tiny apiary and having the bee hives closer to home will make that work much easier.

Sesame honey, here we come!

  • Fresh Honeycomb

    Andy checked our beehives on the Ogeechee River  earlier this week. He came home and handed me a super box full of 8 frames of freshly capped honeycomb. What to do with it all? I immediately pictured cheese and olives and the gorgeous comb on a platter. Surely some fancy restaurant or boutique has a better…

    1. Thank you! If we get a crop then I’ll share our take on the flavor profile. This is our first time pollinating sesame and we’ve never tasted the honey. We hope it’s awesome!
