Honey Crafting – Projects for Your Home Straight from the Hive  by Leeann Coleman and Jayne Barnes

From the back of the book:

From the satisfying taste of fresh honey butter to the blissful aroma of a beeswax candle, Honey Crafting celebrates all the amber goodness the hive has to offer. Inside, you’ll find a variety of sweet crafts for around the home, including Molded Beeswax Ornaments, Oatmeal and Honey Scrub Bar, and Cocoa Lavender Lip Balm, as well as delectable recipes like Honey Gorgonzola Toasts and Pumpkin Puff Pie. Whether you’re interested in creating delicious meals that highlight honey’s robust taste, developing all-natural beauty products, or preparing home remedies that will soothe any ailment, this book makes it easy for anyone to savor the simple pleasure that come from harvesting the golden nectar.

I’ve done some research this summer on honey and honey bees because there is a little part of me that would like to take up bee keeping. I know it’s probably more work than I have time for but the research has been interesting all the same.

Take this book for example. It highlights projects that use both honey and bees wax. After all, there is much more to do with keeping bees than just putting honey in my tea.

I loved the projects in the book and will definitely be making some of the beeswax ornaments as “add ons” to my gift giving and I’m pretty sure that some of the Spiced Mixed Nuts will be made up into gifts as well.

A good book to have on hand for those of us who love honey. The taste, scent and medicinal uses.
