Sit back, relax and enjoy the summer because autumn is just around the corner! Join me as I take a look inside a beehive and follow the exciting life of a queen bee, the warriors that protect her and the cut throat politics of the colony that can overthrow her. I delve into the miraculous health benefits of honey, how it's made and what it can do for us both inside and out. I share my favourite breakfast granola recipe to be enjoyed outside on warm sunny mornings and I try to hold on to these last moments of summer before the seasons turn once more.

Granola recipe
Ingredients
200g of rolled oats
200g of jumbo oats
100ml of melted coconut oil
100ml of warm honey
Half a teaspoon of salt
Cinnamon to taste
100g of chopped nuts (pecans, almonds & hazelnuts)
100g of seeds (pumpkin & sunflower)
Method
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees
Warm the honey and mix with the liquid coconut oil, pour over the rest of the ingredients, coat evenly and spread over a lined baking tray and pop in the oven. Bake gently, turning occasionally until lightly golden. Allow to cool before sealing in an airtight container. I like to serve mine with thick natural yoghurt drizzled with honey.
