As leaves fall Asian/yellow-legged hornet secondary nests can become visible. Nests are rounded and can reach 90cm diameter. Side entrances make them distinctive. They are made of papier-mache and beige coloured. Sometimes found in tree tops 4 -15m high Never approach nests

Interesting paper about the Schmidt Sting Pain Index which explains why some honeybee stings are more painful than others - this something I've been wondering about as this year I've been stung on my chin and ear as well as my hands! @BkaBev #beekeeping ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…

We are in the midst of a cost of living crisis, I get that. However, I’d rather not eat something’s at all or as an occasional treat than some of the highly processed & dubious products sold so cheaply. Frankly this flavoured sugar water is not honey! #honeyfraud

Experts believe that cheap, blended honey from overseas is one of the most adulterated and fraudulent food stuffs in the world! Celebrate National Honey Day Oct 21 by buying a jar of local honey. #beekeeping #NationalHoneyDay #LocalHoney

Please sign the Honey Labelling Petition. 👉bbka.org.uk We need the UK Government to take action to ensure when you shop for honey you can be assured you are buying the real thing and not products that are packed with high corn fructose.
