Yes, I got an eggplant and a butternut squash (and some baked goodies) there today. Steve got some strawberry honey and a mug.

I have never heard of strawberry honey, but that brings up a wonder I've
had for some time. How does one tell the bees to only visit the
strawberries, and not the blueberries next door, or the dandelions, etc.
There must be ways, but I just don't see it. We've had the discussion
before about Tupelo honey which we like. When we visited an area where
there was a tupelo swamp, maybe I can understand -- not much else there.
Ditto with your safflower honey (did I get that right?).

Orange blossom I can also pretty much understand -- the groves are large
and not much else growing nearby. Put the hives there, and the bees
don't need to go anywhere else when the trees are in blossom.

Couple of comments:

a. This sounds good enough without the buns if you
want to reduce the carb count (which was not given anyhow).

b. if you have a vacuum sealer and the proper attachments, vacuum
sealing the pork and marinade would infuse the flavors better/faster.

I asked about that also. The beekeeper sends the honey off to be
analyzed. I think he said the pollen is analyzed. It needs to be at
least 70% strawberry for the honey to be called strawberry honey,
70% blueberry to be blueberry honey, etc.

Orange blossom I can also pretty much understand -- the groves are

Yes, that is true. It is hard to control just where the bees go.
Anything that does not meet the standard just gets the wildflower honey
label.

I made this again, but as a variant, using sourdough starter instead of
yeast. I also used raw sugar instead of white sugar and sea salt. I
think that made this the best tasting batch I have made. Instead of four
large loaves, I divided the dough into 16 parts and made small loaves,
each about four to five inches in diameter.

You place portable hives in a strawberry field at the right time of
year when the vines are in blossom. Bees will forage up to 2 miles
away or even more if they have to but they are opportunists and will
stay closer to the hive if they can. Strawberries bloom earlier than raspberries or blueberries. And a good farmer won't have dandelions
or other weeds in his berry batch!

You can always stir crushed strawberries into regular honey!

corned beef on each piece of bread and brush the meat with
2 to 3 teaspoons of the sauce.

At one end of the bread place 1 slice of the cheese, top it
with 1 tablespoon of the sauerkraut, and roll up from the
cheese end first to form a roll. Secure with a toothpick
and place the roll seam side down on an ungreased baking
sheet. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread.

Brush the rolls with the melted butter and bake until the
bread is toasty-brown and firm to the touch, about 12

I have never heard of strawberry honey, but that brings up a wonder

I'd never heard of it either.

If a beehive is in strawberry fields forever, then
the honey will be strawberry honey.

That would not work. The strawberry plants are in bloom for only a
short time each year (one month or less?). BUT, if it is a big enough
field and if the bee keeper cleans the honey comb (whatever it is that
the bees stash their honey) and if he moves the hive to the field while
in bloom and then harvests the honey right after so as to not get it
adultrated with some other type of nectar.

AND, that has got to be the longest compound sentence I have ever typed.

We used to go to a pick-it-yourself place. They had strawberries, black
and red raspberries and blueberries -- all coming ripe at different
times. Strawberries always were too low to the ground for us, even 40
years ago. The raspberries and blueberries were much easier to pick.
They had both trained in rows, with the raspberries going up over six
feet on a wire mesh.

As I just pointed out, there can be no guaranteeing pure
one-species honey as long as there are free-range bees.

So called single flower honey is rarely 100% pure but honey with the
distinct characteristics of one plant type can be had if the
proportion of nectar from that one plant is high enough to produce a characteristic flavor, texture and aroma.

Proportions of flowers can be determined by the percentage of its
pollen in the honey which can be can be identified and counted.
A pollen percentage of 45% is common and even go as high as
75% but it can be as low as 15% for certain types of single flower
honeys which have low pollen counts and strong flavour profiles.
A minimum percentage is often set by the country of origin or a
marketing board or co-op. For American orange blossom honey it's
20%. A honey that doesn't meet that threshold has to be labelled
mixed citrus honey or even just honey depending on its makeup.

Correction: The analysis has to be at least 51% of the named variety,
not 70% as I previously stated. I clarified with the beekeeper. He sends samples of the pollen that floats to the surface of the honey after it
is spun off the comb to be analyzed.

If you ever see a thin, white layer on the top of raw honey, that is
pollen that has floated to the top.
