I recon honey with the Buckingham Palace label would sell for a good price at the gate.

Seeing a little sandwich board with a picture of a skep and "honey for sale" by the Victoria Memorial, or on The Mall would be awesome.

Swarm caught and hived . parent colony inspected by him, on finding queen cells he asked for advice and was given the advice to "Knock all cells down save one " He saved two , one week later they swarmed again ( a small cast ) He is now in the position where he has pussy-cats with the old queen and hells' angels with the hive with self produced queen! and this queen F1-ish .

Don't believe everything you read in the Daily lies, oops! I meant Mail

Just typical journalism when you know the story what ever it is, it often has mistakes.

For example Clarence House have not put bees on the roof they are very close to the back of the house.

Remembering all the cake, wasp nests are more of an issue. Too. Much. Cake.

I was simply drawing attention to the fact the article was in a newspaper shown to me by my wifey following an Internet search.

I wasn't commenting on the intelligence of, or quality, of reporting, but as has been shown the information has, as usual, been slightly distorted in order to create an interesting story.

Don't you have to be careful on here?

Wot!, like bees producing 'jars of honey'. Not looked at the comments but wouldn't be surprised if some people out there think it (honey) is made in the jars! I remember city dwellers (yes, they were Londoners) who were aghast when they realised that they had been drinking milk that came from dirty cows, from a dirty field, in a dirty old cowshed!

Don’t think so
