Bear breaks into ice cream store, eats until he passes out. In Tahoe, an ice cream shop had just rolled out its new monthly flavor: honey. Locals loved it, but the surprise fans turned out to be much bigger.

On only the second day of serving it, employees unlocked the shop to find tubs of honey ice cream completely devoured and a massive black bear sprawled out on the floor, fast asleep from his feast.
Wildlife officials were called in. Carefully, they managed to wake the bear and guide him out before relocating him to a safer area away from town.

Researchers explained that bears have an extraordinary sense of smell scientists estimate up to seven times better than a bloodhound allowing them to detect food from miles away. It was no wonder the honey ice cream had lured him straight through the shop’s door.

The local wildlife center ended up covering the cost of the ice cream, and when the owner was asked about it, he just laughed: “As long as someone’s paying, I hope he comes back, that’s the fastest we’ve ever sold out.”

🐝 All creatures need water -- and bees are no exceptions!

Bees may be able to get sufficient water from the nectar they drink to get by, but they are often found drinking water from other sources in the summer.

Honey bees particularly need extra water because they use it to cool their hives in the summer time. Learn more about providing bees with water to drink ➡️ https://www.uaex.uada.edu/farm-ranch/special-programs/beekeeping/uabeeblog/posts/water_for_bees.aspx

Fun Fact Friday: On average, a honey bee hive will produce about 65 pounds of surplus honey each year. Beekeepers harvest it by collecting the honeycomb frames and scraping off the wax cap that bees make to seal off honey in each cell. Once the caps are removed, the frames are placed in an extractor, a centrifuge that spins the frames, forcing honey out of the comb.

Tuesday Tip: Trying to cut back on sugar? Reach for honey! Honey is slightly sweeter than sugar, so less can be used to achieve the same sweetness intensity. Learn more about how honey can benefit you in the new year on our blog. https://buff.ly/3tsTSDB

Lafayette County Farm Bureau is supporting a project being led by the Lewisville Church of Christ. We are excited to add honey to the food boxes they are building for the upcoming Christmas Season.

We hope that each family receiving a box has a very Merry Christmas and that the honey makes it just a little bit sweeter.
