My Honey must be high carbon all the travelling to an outer apiary, I don't think I will be putting that on the label lol

Is this a good price then? Is it worth a trip out to them at the weekend?

Id say so as I just got a 25kg bag of sugar for £19.49 which works out at 0.78p. Think i'll get this offer too then should keep me going for a bit.

I didn't know sugar cane was (is?) grown as a crop in UK. I thought it was too cold.

even worse the arsenic was transported by coal burning ships to the Caribbean and Americas..... old carbon miles then?

Well probably not no unless your passing =). I pass it everyday on the way to work so for me it's a no brainer. I've already got 25kg bag, but an extra 15 gives me a bit not have to worry about any this year depends how much winter feed they take

Got my special offer sugar from Bookers today. There was not a lot left even though the offer runs till 21st.

73p (ish) per kilo and I got 90k so I am pleased. Saved my nectar points for other stuff as advised on this thread. Party booze Hurrah!

90 kg (about a couple of hundredweight) seems like one helluva lot of sugar for one colony - even for three it has to be over the top.
Seems a lot to invest in stockpiling for a potential saving of what, 10p/kg so £9?

Sure you aren't stocking up that nuclear bunker, or getting heavily into homebrew???

Just been to Tesco, they have 5kg bags back in for £3.99 = 80p per kilo.
