Did anybody watch last night's
Having seen this set up and similar pictures in the press some weeks ago I wondered whether you could make sedative honey
I'm certain that Finman with his vast knowledge of everything will be along shortly to contradict me ... seems it's his favourite current pastime after the Vodka ...
Poppy flowers do not secrete nectar (bees only visit them for pollen) so no chance of any poppy honey.
Personally I think we shouldn't be growing these here. We should be buying the product from the Afgans where it grows much better and pay a better price than the drug barons it would reduce the amount of drugs on the streets and give the afgans a much better life style instead of destroying them. But then Big drug co wouldn't be able to control the business so well.

That's a beggar then !! So much for trippy honey .....
What happened to slicing the poppy heads and stripping off the dried opium gum?
The stuff the chap had looked like cattle nuts.
They will be spraying them with something nasty next.
I once travelled by train across Turkey and woke in the early hours to see opium poppies as far as the eye could see. At breakfast I asked one of the train staff about them and he vehemently denied what I had seen. I thought it best not to push the point and changed the subject.
