honey, and instead of mints or candies the 

 ladies might have served some white clover 

 candied honey cut in small cubes 



Another thing also occurred to me: If they 

 ever have another such program, should it 

 be in the honey season. I could have some 

 bees and honey there; take the honey from 

 them, extract, and give the bees the combs 

 again. I believe it would be an inducement 

 for more oeople to eat extracted honey, and 

 why wouldn't this kind of a program be a 

 good thing for lots of other clubs to take up ? 

 It would be a change and not only interest- 

 ing but instructive, for there are lots of 

 housewifes that do not realize the food 

 value of honey. 



Lots of manufacturers of food stuffs have 

 a national day for their product, why not 

 have one day of the year for a " honey day ?"
