If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s how to entertain ourselves within the safety of our own home. Recreating some social favorites isn’t always easy, but here’s one thing that is: a wine tasting. Pair some of your favorite wines with a homemade charcuterie board! A charcuterie board is an ensemble of foods that typically pair well with wines. Some popular options are cured meats, nuts, cheeses, fruits, crackers, and even honeycomb.
That’s right! Not only can honey from the honeycomb be used as a delicious sweetener, it can also be used as a crunchy snack that pairs excellently with white wines like a sauvignon blanc. Honeycomb is a unique and creative feature of a wine tasting that is not often used outside of specialty restaurants. You will be able to expand your palate while providing a fun experience for yourself and your friends!
Since honeycomb can be sourced without harming a beehive, you can find ethically sourced, organic honeycomb pretty easily. This unique purchase can even go towards helping local bee populations.
Bees have a very important role in the environment as pollinators. That means they are responsible for distributing plant pollen, or reproductive material, to each plant they land on. This transportation ensures the continued growth of new plants. Since plants produce the oxygen humans and other animals need to breathe, this is a pretty important job.
If you are looking to create a fun at-home event and support local bee populations at the same time, the Sawgrass Nature Center offers all natural, ethically sourced honeycomb from our onsite apiary. The proceeds go directly back to supporting local bee populations across Broward County! Call 954-752-9453 (WILD) for more details.
