We’re preparing for our first harvest here at BlissWood, but it’s not the usual crop. Just when you thought BlissWood couldn’t get any sweeter, we’re getting ready] to harvest honey! Of course, we can’t take all the credit – we’ve got a hive of hard-working bees here. And if all goes well, we’ll soon have fresh honey available on our Texas guest ranch.
Thousands of years ago in ancient Rome, the historian Pliny the Elder called honey the finest, most health-promoting liquid known to man. It’s hard to believe, but honey does have many proven health benefits. We all know that it’s a tasty natural sweetener, but it’s more than just a sweet treat. Honey contains 18 amino acids, as well as many vitamins and minerals.
Honey is also believed to improve sleep and relaxation and naturally reduce allergy symptoms. It’s even used to heal cuts and scrapes! With all these fantastic properties, it’s no wonder that beekeeping is becoming such a popular pastime!
It’s a tricky business, but our beekeeper here on the ranch is a pro. Paul Casteig from Royal Ridge Honey knows that in order to produce the best quality honey, it is never heated or filtered during harvest. And it’s always hand-packed in glass containers and never in plastic.
And to ensure the most natural product, our bees’ territory is free of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, genetically modified crops, and anything else that Mother Nature herself would not approve of. That’s how we know that you won’t find a purer specimen of the golden food anywhere.
So if you’re looking for a sweet getaway, consider planning a trip to BlissWood Bed and Breakfast Ranch. In addition to a relaxing stay at our beautiful Texas guest ranch, you might even get to see the hive in action! Call us today at 713-301-3235 or check availability online.
