Love A Bee Watermelon and Cucumber Salad

There’s nothing more refreshing in the heat of summer than a melon and cucumber salad. The mustard grains, onion, orange rind and Wild Bergamot honey combine with the fresh melons to make a subtle symphony of cool flavors that are sure to intrigue!  If you want to take it up a notch, sprinkle in pollen just before you serve. It’s a dish bursting with natural goodness and I’m  proud to say that with the exception of salt, every single ingredient comes to us courtesy of the bees!
