Goat Cheese and Honey Board

In a single day, a bee may visit up to 10,000 flowers. These herb- and citrus-flavored goat cheese rounds are rolled in edible flowers and then drizzled in honey. Serve them on a board with more honey, Savannah Bee Company Raw Honeycomb, and your favorite crackers for the most bee-utiful grazing board.
