    Fondant vs natural stores question.

    I dislike the climg film method due to plastic polution in the sense small bits get chewed up rather than a firmer IKEA bag that can be recycled at the supermarket. Q, 1kg of fondant, how does that compare to Honey. I.e. 1 to 1 or 1kg of fondant is the same as a frame of stores? Always wondered.

    Cut Comb frame.

    I agree. If you want technical perfection and how it should be then no loose honey. Many of us sell our honey so the market expectations set the product specification.

    Cut Comb frame.

    To me that's what chunk honey is tbh. I prefer drained and so do honey show judges; looks tidier.

    £50 refer a friend link - Octopus Energy

    Changed to Octopus 2 weeks ago. O well. Export at 15p kwh is the clincher for me.

    “Crunchy Honey”

    What can and can't be put on a label is I suspect a little like the motorway service station issue from years back. Services were unable to advertise on the motorway signs what companies were available such and Burger King or M&S. The service stations simply remained the services from say...

    Was planning on inspecting my appiarys but the mist took way longer to burn off than expected and was only 6.9c until it was too late.

    What's flowering as forage in your area

    What are the bees after, sugary solution from ripe apples or water that is warmer from an apple in the sun as I guess it heats up quicker than other water source available or a bit of both?

    Thoughts on Mead as a drink.

    Nothing stopping Inbev or Molson Coors from making at scale though.

    House insurance.

    I was thinking that. I know that many companies definition of the meaning of words does not necessarily agree with the Oxford English Dictionary but isn't manufacturing the process of creation or production of goods. We don't create or produce as the production of Honey is within the hive. We...
