Our mission was simple: to celebrate Strawberry Season and spread love for the beautiful red fruit while encouraging everyone to support the bees. We shared strawberry plants with customers, urging them to plant somewhere special and find joy in nurturing them throughout summer. As customers carefully chose their spot in nature, we felt proud, knowing these little beauties would satisfy berry lovers later on. But we mustn’t forget the lovable honey-makers who make strawberries possible. Don’t just stop at planting strawberries; try these delicious recipes featuring our favorite sweet berries from our blog. When you feed one bee, you give back more than sweetness – you foster community spirit and inspire others to “bee inspired.”

Baking Tips and Essentials
Baking is an art that requires precision, patience, and a few essential tips to ensure success. Here are some key pointers to help you create delicious strawberry desserts:
- Always use fresh ingredients, including fresh strawberries and fresh berries, to achieve the best flavor and texture.
- High-quality baking powder is crucial for ensuring your desserts rise properly and have a light, airy texture.
- Avoid overmixing your batter, as this can lead to a dense and tough texture. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Choose the right baking dish for the job. A 9-inch square ceramic baking dish is perfect for small bakes like brownies and blondies.
- If you’re baking for someone with gluten intolerance, consider using gluten-free options to ensure everyone can enjoy your creations.
- Keep in mind that baking with honey is a little different than baking with regular sugar, but the outcome is so much better!

Baking Dish
Choosing the right baking dish can make a significant difference in the outcome of your desserts. Here are some tips for selecting the perfect baking dish:
- A 9-inch square ceramic baking dish is ideal for baking small treats like brownies and blondies. Ceramic or stoneware dishes bake evenly and prevent overcooking the edges.
- Avoid using metal baking dishes, especially when working with acidic ingredients like lemon juice, as they can react and affect the flavor of your dessert.
- Consider using a baking dish with a non-stick coating to prevent your desserts from sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

Gluten-Free Options
Gluten-free baking can be a bit challenging, but with the right tips and ingredients, you can create delicious desserts that everyone will love. Here are some helpful tips for gluten-free baking:
- Use a high-quality gluten-free baking mix as a substitute for all-purpose flour. This will help ensure your desserts have the right texture and flavor.
- Almond flour or coconut flour can also be great substitutes for all-purpose flour, adding a unique flavor to your baked goods.
- Be careful not to overmix your batter, as this can create a dense and tough texture. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use xanthan gum or guar gum to help your gluten-free desserts hold together and achieve the right consistency.
By following these tips and using the right ingredients, you can create delicious gluten-free desserts that everyone will enjoy.
Organic is Best
It's Strawberry Season! Homegrown strawberries are pesticide-free and taste much better than store-bought ones. They're vulnerable to pests and diseases since they grow close to the ground. Conventional farming relies on chemicals, but sustainable practices like crop rotation provide an alternative. We encourage using fewer chemicals. Enjoy fresh, juicy organic strawberries without pesticides. Don't miss out on this year's crop! Share your photos with us on Instagram!
