I have asked them for more details of how it works. Is it simply about processes, storage separation for non organic products etc? Do they check the supply chain in detail for each honey in a blend? To be called organic, 95% of the product has to be organic. It made me wonder whether the...

The Primary (TS) Authority for Aldi is: Denbighshire Co Council https://www.denbighshire.gov.uk/en/...dards/forms/contact-us-trading-standards.aspx. You may want to drop a line to Aldi's CEO Giles Hurley on [email protected]. You might also want to ask TS whether at this price, it is genuinely...

The UK packer will have Soil Association accreditation

If you look at the back of the label you will see (if you have magnifying glass handy!) that it says 'a blend of honeys from more than one country', so it is definitely not from the UK, although it will have been packed by a UK packer who has Soil Association accreditation...

He did confirm that it had been done but that he couldn't disclose the results

There is a lot more honey fraud going on in the UK than is apparent. Many of the TS organisations have commercial contracts with the big companies eg Tesco, Rowse etc to provide analysis for them. This means that they would be unlikely to prosecute in the event of fraud because they would lose...

Hi Herefordshire Honey Noticed ages back that you had the arnia hive monitors - do you still have them?

I inadvertently set a hanging basket on fire while I was scorching some hives! Luckily all was well after liberal dousings with water. A beekeeping hazard I hadn't previously encountered!

Hi guys - I have just discovered this thread. I have also been part of the trial for almost 2 years, but due to poor mobile signal in my area, and some further technical difficulties and communication problems only got my 2 monitors working at all last autumn/winter, and was only able to get...

Re: Spring Convention I was there all day Friday and I enjoyed 2 excellent lectures and a great workshop on mounting anatomy slides. There seem to be lots of people here with some lectures needing to use overflow rooms with video links to get everyone in. It's true the trade area was quiet - i...
