Almonds are native to the Middle East but the United States is now the larger producer of almonds in the world.  Also, almond pollination is dependent on one special insect that is dear to me. 

Yes, honey bee pollination is needed in the large almond groves.  Thousands of colonies are trucked in each year to pollinate the fields of blooming trees.

Using Honey in Your Recipes

There are many varieties of honey that you can use in cooking.  I always have a preference for raw honey straight from a beekeeper. 

Whether you choose to use regular Wildflower honey or a specialty honey such as Orange Blossom or Clover does not matter. Any type of honey will taste great in your recipe.

After finding a good honey source, be sure to store your honey properly. Honey never spoils when it is stored in the right way. Do a good job and it will be ready to use for your next recipe.
