    Scientific evidence for honey-based cures

    Read recently, that when you scrape propolis off the frames, you shouldn't throw it away, if you don't want it yourself, leave it for the ladies to re-use.

    Tree

    Dead easy. Wash, take out stones. Equal parts by weight plums and sugar Simmer for approx 30 mins Check setting point by dropping a bit on a cold plate, and push with a finger and see if it ripples. Put in warm steralised jars, fit lid, leave to cool.
