Catching up on news, since we've been away, and this is one of the first tweets to catch our eye!

It would be better to explain how, or why, it is possible to fail an authenticity test, than to promote the failure of all UK tested honey.

So here goes... 1/20

@apimondia Honey, in England, must comply with the Honey Regulations (England) 2015, and in those Regulations, there are maximum and minimum levels of things to comply with.
Sugar and water content, insoluble particle content, even electrical conductivity of honey, amongst other things.

A thread...1/6

I've read the @britishbee petition properly for the first time, today.
We have not signed it, because I don't believe it is helpful to UK honey producers, or bee farmers.

Below ⬇️

It only gives the opinion of the British Beekeeper's Association, on labelling.
⤵️ Image ⤵️ The petition does not ask for anything. It does not state that anything should change. There is no demand. There is no suggestion made.

It has already been satisfied, and here is how.

#Thread 1/18

You don't only find #SolitaryBees in your #Bee hotel 🐝

Bee hotels should be brought indoors, taken apart, and cleaned before #Winter, to give solitary bees a better chance of survival 🐝

Only buy the type that can be taken apart and cleaned 🐝

Carefully take the sections apart, and lay them out on a flat surface.

Be gentle, but don't be afraid to touch the cocoons.

You will see the cocoons in small compartments where the bee built mud walls, to separate each egg, as it was laid in pollen from nearby flowers 🐝 ImageImageImageImage
