Vegan Society's view on beekeepers

[marklaverda]

wheat and grasses are not polinated by bees AFAIK

Sorry, but one out of four does not get a 'pass' mark from me!

Still only 1/4.

Not really bothered. Still only one out of four is a fail mark.

1 out of 4 is still not a very good score for someone purporting to know about agriculture.

Don't you think it's time you gave it up?

Trying to belittle someone is neither clever nor funny.

You've made your point - We all get the message.

Or even pollinated if you prefer it.

An extract from Wikipedia on OSR says this -

"Rapeseed is a heavy nectar producer, and honeybees produce a light colored, but peppery honey from it. It must be extracted immediately after processing is finished, as it will quickly granulate in the honeycomb and will be impossible to extract. The honey is usually blended with milder honeys, if used for table use, or sold as bakery grade. Rapeseed growers contract with beekeepers for the pollination of the crop. "

I have harvested rape honey 35 years. No help from Wikipedia.
In Finland farmers know that rape gives yield without bees
they does not come to ask beehives on their field. Some even denie it.

Hi Finman, I believe you.

Perhaps you should tell Wikipedia ?
