September is a sweet time to celebrate National Honey Month! This delicious food holiday celebrates the most important time for beekeepers and producers across the country.
September is a time when bees begin preparing for winter, which means honey collectors are busy bees working to harvest honey. National Honey Month provides opportunity to recognize the dedicated people who bring honey into our homes.
Honey is a sweet substance made by honey bees. Bees produce honey after consuming sugar from plants. The honey is made and stored in bee colonies for the purpose of nourishing the bees after the honey sugar becomes thick. The bees continuously make honey as it forms into honeycombs and using the honey as nourishment.
