Gift…
I had the program at TOPS 
last night… that’s my weight loss group…
I had been reading about the benefits of “Honey” …Very interesting!…
So I decided to share what I had found out…
It has significant natural antioxidant properties…
It can give a natural relief to respiratory ailments…
Improves energy and stamina… 
Helps to heal wounds and known to combat infection… 
Reduces stress… 
It is soothing to minor burns and helps prevent scarring… 
Honey dates back to 2100 B.C. …
It was the first and most widespread sweetener 
used by man…
It was used as a form of currency
, tribute or offering…
It has been used in making cement, furniture polish 
, and varnishes…
While the bee 
is doing its business of honey production.. it is also performing the vital service of pollinating fruits, legumes, vegetables and other food-producing plants…
Honey bees have been known to travel as far as 40,000 miles and visit over 2 million flowers 
to produce one pound of honey…
Honey is the only one food that includes all the substances necessary to sustain life, including water 
…
After giving my program I shared a recipe that uses Honey 
in its ingredients…
“Party Punch”
1-1/4 cup honey
1- cup lemon juice
2- cups boiling water
4-cups cranberry juice cocktail
2- cups orange juice
1- quart ginger ale
Dissolve honey in boiling water. Chill. Combine all remaining ingredients except ginger ale. Chill. Before serving, add ginger ale. Makes 20 servings.
Everyone tasted it and had lots of yummy reviews… 
You can definitely taste the Honey in it… slightly tart… but, sweet enough for sure and very good!…
as I am sitting here drinking the last glass I brought home…
and I think I’ll leave out the “other ingredients” 
some suggested…
They are so funny!

…have come looking for water and food… or the rain has made them find refuge in my kitchen!…GO AWAY!, “I say!”…I hear they have a home or colony as they like to call it… When they come into my “colony” they leave trails 
to get back home… So to eliminate them I have been looking for remedies… Of course there are pesticides…but, I was thinking more of a “homemade” remedy…I’ve read about them and have decided to try this recipe… So good, they might like it and take home some to their fellow comrades…
