Miel, Spanish for honey, is a word my friends and I use as a term of endearment for one another; a sort of slanted "hey hon" when we meet. When I started keeping bees, it seemed appropriate to call them miel too, small "m" because they are but tiny little creatures. When I am outside working in their hives, "miel" becomes a sort of plea for them to be sweet with me as I promise to be gentle with them.

As a fermentation hobbyist, I began making MUSTARD at home years ago, a fermented recipe inherited from friends that is perfectly simple, rustic and hearty. As we continue to grow our small business, we hope to bring this fermented product to you one day, but until further notice we are focused on the bees!
