Pictured left - Dale Benedict displays some of the honey products he sells at the Union County Farmer’s Market and other outlets. Benedict also is displaying the children’s book he recently published, “Miss Moxie The Amazing Honeybee Story.”
––––
Dale Benedict would like everyone to “bee loving,” “bee wise” and “bee yourself.”
And the rural Marysville-area resident has written a book urging youngsters to do just that — and more, including to “bee” good, sweet, smart, healthy, nice and thankful.
Benedict has self-published “Miss Moxie The Amazing Honeybee Story,” a tale he felt compelled to write to “enlighten humans about the tremendous amount of good honey bees do for us.”
Miss Moxie is a metaphor for one of the several million honeybees that live in the 30-some hives Benedict has located in Union, Logan and Champaign counties. He said her creation came to him after he “had a brainstorming session with myself.”
