Large Scale Honey production.. Viable ?

[dpearce4]

as we know -sugar syrup can be cheap as chips - add a bit of colour and flavour - job done!

Let the bees do that as I saw in Kefalonia last summer, the large blue barrels cut in half filled with sugar syrup in the open in the middle of the apiaries.

Indeed.

Though again this honey is good , it has the flavour, viscosity, aroma and even looks exactly like, in relation to pollen content ,my locally produced cold filtered unheated product... Depressing really !

And for € 2.Bloody 69 !!

3 out of 5 reviews are not good ...

If you extract 1000 kg in a day, it is impossible to do via narrow plastic tube.

Have you ventured into posting on the Flow forum?
Yo do know they keep bees as pets there?

Oh yes! I highly recommend it - they would gladly welcome your learned teaching

I think he's already there.....I recognise the confrontational style

I wouldn't know - never really dabbled there meself - but then again, I suppose you'd have to be quick to spot them as I've been told by someone who does that anything that threatens to burst the idyllic bubble they like to promote quickly gets the blue pencil treatment

Are you sure it was syrup and not water?

It seems that Foodstuffs Supervision of Great Britain have missed their tools

after all Flow Nothing British Style is good enough.
What you get via tube is LOVE!!

Hi

did not say European, is not but still incredible, margin must be tiny.

Right at the bottom of the Ocado page, it said the Rowse Organic Honey was a blend of EU and non-EU honeys, so could be 95% Chinese, 5% Romanian. How it gets a Soil Association quasi-certification I don't know.
