API of the Month
This month, the spotlight is on honey given the festival of Candlemas 😊. An excuse to eat pancakes with some good honey all month long! But honey is not the subject of your API blog this month. In a change of subject, I want to tell you about the smoker: an essential tool for all your visits to the beehive. We can never have too much information about it!
