@jonathancourt1 Yep you get a slight premium but when the crunch the numbers you have to stick local (fuel cost, time in traffic etc)

My comprehensive poll of 49 people confimed what I feared Best hope is to bring out Tom Bradshaw and attempt an amnesty before kicking Labour out at the next election Ditch Clarkson. Popular but Torpedoed the farmer cause when he openly said “the critical thing” was to avoid tax.

@PerkinsLodge That's not a great return, no wonder farming is in trouble when you make more money sitting on your arse with money in the bank. I'm starting to wonder if our farmer-landlord might sell up and leave us out in the cold. No money in farming!

@Robwils94254586 I'm seeing it in about 1% of colonies overall but with some sites much worse than others.

@austincwb Looks like moisture is getting into those hives. Whether that's a good or bad thing I don't know

RT @austincwb: Most of the bees were looking great yesterday, it'll not be long before the madness kicks off again.

@calluna4u @won2winit No one reads blog posts anymore. It's a bit 2010. Short, snappy social media posts are the way forward. X is still probably the best for this as hardly anyone uses bluesky or whats the other one... masterdome?

Doing some weight checks. Generally fine, bees are a bit average-weak & there's always one that munches through their food.

@Gary_Starlorn @theladyfarmer adulterated or not, most people don't care providing it's cheap. The packers will tell you it's real & the supermarkets don't really care

There's a chance if tariffs are placed on imports - they'd have to be substantial as 16% on Chinese honey hasn't stemmed the flow OR a serious devaluation on the £. It might save British farming. Chance of the government reversing the IHT <10%. Worth a shot but the some of the people heading the charge are doing a poor job. More of Tom Bradshaw and Heady's farm and less of... I'd prefer not to say
