Now, bees like things fast and easy (who doesn’t really). And pasta HAS to be one of the easiest quick fixes around. Unfortunately, most pasta sauces are FILLED with SUGAR and SODIUM! The bees were amazed at what they had been eating all this time, especially with the organic and all natural labels. This tomato sauce was the only one we found in the entire store that had this low amount of sodium. Talk about frustration! But one whole can, because who only eats half a can, of this tomato sauce has only 206 mgs of sodium.
