Bee Good Apiary in Atlantic Highlands has Blue Ribbon Honey
- Details
- Category: News
As a child I enjoyed eating honey purchased from the local beekeeper. His honey was always comb honey and boy was that good. It was his honey that inspired me to help the bees and start two hives of my own. My first year of new experiences has just concluded with the extraction of a limited amount of honey. But what a reward. My bees done good!
Bee Good Apiary, located in Atlantic Highlands, was recognized by Monmouth County Fair as blue ribbon honey this past month. The Home and Garden exhibition gave a blue ribbon to the comb frame honey packaged in a round plastic disk. Each cell of honey was sealed by the bees, retaining the original flavor in its pristine condition just the way the bees like it. When consumed by humans, they can eat both honey and comb. Eating comb has nutritional value. It reduces bad cholesterol and reduces low density lipoprotein. Its antioxidants protect the liver and it helps reduce insulin resistance for Type 2 diabetes. An alternative to eating the comb would be to save it, make a candle and use it when the lights go out.

RBC students Catherine Curtin of Atlantic Highlands and Ava Zockoll of Bay Head distribute shirts to volleyball players in Cuba.
Five days staying in a B&B in the heart of Havana and interacting on a daily basis with numerous Cubans from a variety of walks of life is a lot different from visiting this island country on a cruise ship and having escorted tours to specific sites. Though our stay was brief, and each morning enveloped in intriguing, exciting, and well played volleyball matches, I not only learned a lot about the people who live in poverty, or near it, under communism, but also from those who live far above the poverty level in that same communistic nation for whatever reason yet do give so much of themselves to others.

Reading the brochures on display in hotels and B&Bs, it’s easy to see Havana is filled with museums, restaurants, places of interest and historic sites. But talking to the native on the street, it’s also evident the locals not only don’t visit these sites, they don’t even know where they are.
There was the day when Catherine and Ava, the Red Bank Catholic High School volleyball players on a friendship mission to Cuba, opted to go to the beach with their new Cuban friends. Their mothers, Tricia Curtin and Ava Zockoll, wanted to accompany them; Catherine’s dad, Dan, and I, chose instead to explore a bit of Havana on our own. It was an incredibly informative and enjoyable day.
