There’s sunshine, hoop skirts, and honey in Belvidere today!
Little Dipper Apiaries is at the 38th annual Belvidere Victorian Day at Garret D. Wall Park — beautiful weather, live music, a park full of vendors, and our table stacked with local honey and pure beeswax candles. 🍯 🕯️
Victorian households knew the good stuff when they saw it. Refined sugar was still a luxury for many families, so they used honey to sweeten tea and cakes, and beeswax candles were the prized light in parlors and churches: they burned cleaner and brighter than smoky tallow. ☀️
The weather’s perfect for a stroll through the park! We’ll be here till 6pm.
