Honey is made by bees in one of the world’s most efficient facilities, the beehive. The 60,000 or so bees in a beehive may collectively travel as much as 55,000 miles and visit more than two million flowers to gather enough nectar to make just a pound of honey. With this wonderful fact in mind, why not mix and match a tremendous batch of honey granola? Enjoy!

4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

2 cups coarsely chopped nuts

1 cup golden raisins

3/4 cup honey

1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla

Salt

1. Combine oats, nuts and raisins in large mixing bowl; mix well and set aside.
