I like February in Nebraska. Why? The sun feels warm, and the winter begins to melt away. I think of green leaves and the soon-to-be budding branches on the wild plum bushes.
I appreciate February for another reason – my favorite fruit is at its peak right now – GRAPEFRUIT. Yes! grapefruit, tasting both sweet and sour, and I feel the vim of a vitamin in every segment.
Avocado blends its buttery flavor with the sweet and sour grapefruit. The joining of tastes and texture nears perfection, and Buzz Savories Honey Mustard Fruit Dressing compliments this super-food combo.
Mounds of pink Texas grapefruit are on display in our local grocery stores. Buy now and enjoy a Citrus Happy Salad with a Honey Mustard Fruit Dressing.
Ideally, approximately 40,000 bees will be living in the hive by August and September. When temperatures drop below 57 Degrees F., the bees cluster with the queen in the center of the cluster. Hives with numbers fewer than 30,000 bees most often die off in the cold season because the fewer bees cannot produce enough heat to maintain a temperature above 57 degrees F. The inner core of bees heats the cluster by shivering their limbs to produce warmth. The temperature of the inner core will reach 64 degrees F. The outer layers of bees protect the core by spreading the hair on their bodies to form a layer of insulation. Bee’s hair compares to goose down, many branches per hair that interlock and form a barrier around the cluster.
