Seriously this is concerning and I am suprised more hasn't been made of it. Thanks for making us all aware. Miles Elsie,

Researchers have identified a type of pesticide that the bees have been in contact with. They have now banned that particular type and a number of others from being imported and used. They don't know if that could have affected honey. It is also not known which plants may have been affected and for how many miles around, due to winds. Elsie Miles,

I have long thought bees get far less credit than they deserve. A very interesting comment, thanks. Miles Elsie,

There are all sorts of flavoured honey's avaliable, I tried some lavender honey today but that paled in comparrison to the above. Miles Ladies,

I wonder if the cheaper brand is any good with just essence of truffle, whereas the other kind had actual pieces of white truffle and a price tag to match. If you find it has anti ageing properties or something they call 'radiance', let me know and I'll order a bucket of the stuff :) Cid Miles,

Honey may become in short supply regionally. America has already lost significant stocks of its bee population due to disease. Honey and bees have been in the news again here last week. The Government has been asked to urgently invest in research into the disease that is killing the bees. It is incredible that people are oblivious to the fact that without the bees there will be no pollination and we are in serious trouble. It does not even make the headlines. Heads in sand springs to mind. Elsie Miles,
