To Save Bees 13-Year-Old Tries to Become Paul Newman of Honey
Henry Miller introduces Stingers™ - a completely different concept
in honey
DEMING, WA, October 15, 2010 --/WORLD-WIRE/-- It all began when
11-year-old Henry's mother left him alone for just a few minutes
sitting next to a stranger on a plane.
Henry began a conversation that would change lives. The man was a
local beekeeper and told Henry about bees and the worldwide crisis of
colony collapse disorder. A natural born activist and entrepreneur
Henry decided right then and there to go into business and donate a
portion of his profits to The Foundation for the Preservation of
Honey Bees.
Henry's parents were skeptical but supportive and soon the family
farm had hives and honey everywhere. More than they knew what to do
with in fact, and so ala "Baby Boom" and Diane Keaton, Henry's mother
started mixing up batches of honey with blends of spices. "Let's face
it, there is just so much honey you can eat in tea and on toast," she
said. "We had to broaden the use of our honey so we came up with
Stingers™ - a line of spicy honey for cooking and barbecuing. You
see, I liked the idea of raw pure honey and no preservatives so this
was perfect, we even put it on ham sandwiches."
Now Henry and his family sell, The Grumpy Grandpa Blend™ a
combination of raw honey, cayenne pepper and garlic. "It's really
good on apples," Henry exclaims. And Phoebe's Fireball™ a chipotle
and cinnamon combination named after his 10 year-old cousin, who
Henry reveals is "...just a little bit bad."
At first people were bit confused about how to use the Stingers™
so Henry's mom posted recipes. And Henry filmed a couple of
infomercials in the family kitchen posting them on YouTube. "We put
bee facts on all the labels to try and teach kids more about bees,"
says Henry who writes all the labels himself and is currently working
on adding a section to his website telling kids what they can do to
help the bees.
"You know we will only last 7 years once the bees are gone, so we've
got to 'Give Bees A Chance.'" Now that really is scary.
