Honey

The Dales Chef

Friday, 7 March 2025 - 10 minutes

In this edition of the Dales Chef, Bruce Elsworth looks at honey - its origins, it's uses both medicinal and culinary.

Bruce talks about the benefits of local honey verses supermarket bought honey and theres some top tips for using honey in your kitchen.

Bruce tells us all about the hives they have at the Mill too, providing honey for their own restaurant.

We find out about one local business which thrives on honey products.  Herd and Hive specialise in bee products and offers educational visits to see their own bees.  You can often meet them at events in the Dales and at local markets too  https://herdandhive.co.uk/

There are some fun facts about the humble bee.  Do you know just how fast it can fly, or how it communicates with other bees when it finds some delicious pollen?
