Vegan Honey from Bury St Edmunds at our local market. Priced at £5.00 for 190 gm. Bit high for lavender flavoured golden syrup though.

On the other hand millions of people would have died if penicillin had not been developed to combat infections. Let's not knock this work. Killer bugs to wack varroa mites sound like a good idea.

Ah, so that's what they are doing. I thought I saw something that looked like a trace of pollen....….your eyesight obviously better than mine!
