World Bee Day

Thursday 18 May
 
This Saturday is World Bee Day, and our studio is buzzing with excitement as we celebrate the humble bee. 
 
We’re joined by Western Cape Beekeeper of the Year and Owner of The Honey Room, Michael Hammond who takes us through a honey tasting and tells us more about bees and honey.
 
We are giving away a R1 400 hamper from the Honey Room! Enter by heading over to our social media pages and comment on the competition post by naming a plant that attracts bees. Make sure you include #AfternoonExpress in your comment.
 
To make things even sweeter, Singer Candice Thornton performs ‘Kiss Me Honey Honey Kiss Me’.
 
Spice up your mid-week dinners with our recipe for Spicy Honey and Mustard Chicken. The chicken leg is the best part for roasting and is the most succulent. This marinade will work just as well with chicken breasts.
 
Chef Tumi shows us how to make Rice and Beef Meatballs in BBQ Honey Sauce, with Coconut Rice.
 
Brand Manager at Adcock Ingram OTC, Garth Maart, chats about combating colds and the flu with Corenza Para C.
 
Chef Jay shares Three Honey Throat Soothers, perfect to sooth a scratchy throat.
 
For dessert, try our Honey and Apple Bread Pudding! Pro tip: toasting the bread adds a deeper flavour and prevents the bread from getting soggy, adding a crispy texture.
