Welcome to Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem, the bay area's premiere radio talkshow about organic gardening!

Our guest this morning is Cal Orey, author of the newly revised book, The Healing Powers of Honey: a Complete Guide to Nature's Remarkable Nectar - and many others previously featured on this program, including The Healing Power of Olive Oil, and the Healing Power of Vinegar.

The new version is short on pictures and long on information and stories; it's packed with both and was literally published all of 10 days ago on the Kensington Publishing imprint.  Be careful with searching the title on Amazon as the original 2011 version remains a best seller there.  The newly revised edition does NOT have a photograph of honey on the cover.

This podcast is a reproduction of the live broadcast on radio at 810 KSFO; our original program has musical interludes that get edited out of this podcast, along with much of the advertising.
