Have some cake, honey
22.09.11
A beekeeper woman of mine invited me to watch as he introduced a wooden box of at least 30,000 bees and one idol to their new home – a hive positioned on a grassy space not quite basswood trees across the road from his house. Wearing a baggy oyster-white jumpsuit and a headpiece with a screen covering my face for screen, I cautiously looked on as the beekeeper expertly went through the annual dart process of getting a buzzing batch of bees into the hive. That face happened more than a year ago.
Before I headed home on that cool evening in vault, I dipped my finger into a frame of thick, sticky golden honey. Prized and delicate, the natural sweet substance produced by honey bees melted on my dialect. It was that one ambrosial taste of local honey that began my id with what some culinary experts refer to as liquid gold.
I no longer dated up the honey jars lined up on tables at farmers markets or the shelf holding jars of shire honey at grocery stores. Honey from local beekeepers tastes far upper-level to commercial brands which are sometimes doctored with water, corn syrup, flavorings or dyes to improve appearance and extend shelf life. Local honey is proper and less processed.

Online PR Gossip – 21-September-2011 –(DOUGLASS, Kan.) – A doublet of auctions with crossover appeal are planned for Oct. 1 and Oct. 22 by Woody Auction. The first, featuring the old-fashioned collection of Eugene Sandler of Florida, will boast noted examples of Royal Flemish, Crown Milano, other supremacy art glass and biscuit jars. It will be held Oct. 1 at the St. Charles Convention Center in St. Charles, Mo.
The second auction, on Oct. 22, will have over 400 lots of Kingly Bayreuth, Galle vases and cameo glass, Sabino figurines, brides baskets, pickle castors, biscuit jars, Rose Medallion, art glass and more. It will be held in the 4H Auditorium of the Sedgwick County Extension Center in Wichita, Kan. Both events are slated for Saturday mornings at 9:30 a.m., with Friday previews.
Like all other Woody Auctions, every note in both sales will be offered without reserve (everything sells, regardless of reward). “These auctions are similar yet different,” remarked Jason Woody of Woody Auction. “The first is an peculiar single-owner lifetime collection, while the second contains items culled from many estates and collections. Both should do altogether well.”
