Hey there! I’m excited to share my very first post about honey. I remember the first time I tasted local Philippine honey—it was sweet, thick, and tasted like flowers. It made me think of sunshine in a jar!
Why I Love Philippine Honey
I love Philippine honey because it comes from many beautiful flowers that grow in our country’s warm weather. Bees fly around, collecting nectar from plants like coconut trees, wild forest blooms, and even flowers in people’s gardens. That’s why every jar of honey can have a slightly different flavor—sometimes it’s light and fruity, other times it’s rich and strong.
How Bees Help Us
Bees are tiny heroes. They help plants grow by carrying pollen from one flower to another. This gives us fruits and vegetables. When I buy local honey, I know I’m helping bees and the people who take care of them, called beekeepers. In the Philippines, beekeepers work hard to make sure their bees are happy and healthy, so we can all enjoy sweet, delicious honey.
A Simple Honey Tip
One easy way I love to use honey is in my warm salabat (ginger tea). I stir a spoonful of honey into a cup of hot ginger tea with a bit of calamansi juice. It tastes yummy and helps soothe my throat, too. You can try this at home with your family!
