Another Blessing

There was a new honey vendor at the farmer's market.  The vendor told me about the nectar sources for the honey he and his wife sold.  This particular batch, from Northern Michigan, helped to pollinate cherry blossoms and star thistle. 

But, in a box behind his table he had two honeycombs that were produced by bees in Georgia.  The nectar source was pimento blossoms.  The vendor GAVE me one of the combs!  (SO BLESSED!)  I brought it home and put it in my honey comb dish.  I don't think I have ever used the dish before.  I bought the dish at an antique shop in Brooklyn, MI for $8.00.  Notice the bee hive on the base and the bees on the lid.

And yes, the honey is so yummy.  The grandkids tried it and approved of it also.
