Experts have warned of a shortage of British honey because of the recent spell of wet and cold weather.

Who'd have thought it?

They've probably got degrees in "Stating the bleeding obvious"

and don't forget the definition of an expert

Ex = A ‘has been’

Spurt = A ‘drip under pressure’

Seems to be at odds with our experience. Yes, flying opportunities have been curtailed, but when they are flying, the flows are stupendous. We got our biggest OSR crop ever (OK biggest in 4 years), and inspecting yesterday, the hives are groaning with honey. We are still adding supers as the lime is pouring in.

Some will have a decent harvest and others will have a poor harvest. It still depends where you live and same applies to the terrible weather, more terrible for some than others.
