He also combats them by filling the bottom tray of each of his hives with veg- etable oil. Bees are very hygienic and can clean the mites off themselves and each other. When they discard the mites, they fall into the lower tray and are drowned in the oil. When hives don’t have the oil, the mites are free to crawl back in and infest the bees. Mr. Bender says treating bees for mites using chemicals can have the adverse ef- fect of creating resistant mites. For his part, Mr. Riggs wants to see a re- turn to the small-scale operations, where beekeepers make their own candles out of bees wax and bottle their own honey. The association also helped to enact a standard by which regulators can deem honey as being locally made and unadul- terated. “When you buy honey from a hobbyist you’re getting a real special product,” he said. While Mr. Bender is not looking to turn a profit, he has enjoyed selling his prod- uct to the public at times, sharing some- thing truly made locally and recouping some of the expense of his hobby.

THE DISH: Highlights from local menus

The Dish: Pollo de Extremana The Place: Tapeo, 118 S. Clematis St., down- town West Palm Beach; 561-514-0811 or www. tapeotapas.com. The Price: $18.95 The Details: Tapeo, housed in the former home to Tin Fish, is a welcome addition to the Clematis Street scene. With the Pollo de Extremana, simple ingredi- ents combine to create a hearty dish that’s also complex in its flavors. The chefs at Tapeo, who specialize in tapas and other Iberian delicacies, sauté a chicken cutlet with onions, red and green bell peppers and savory Spanish sausage, then toss the whole affair in a light brandy sauce. The sweetness of the onions and brandy play off the spices of the sausage. And the chicken? It’s fork tender. Service was hit and miss the night we visited, but by our second glass of sangria, it was less of a concern. ■ — Scott Simmons, [email protected] SCOTT SIMMONS / FLORIDA WEEKLY HARBOURSIDE place NEW YEAR’S EVE FIREWORKS 12.31.18 • 8:30pm • live music fireworks at midnight
