There was an interesting discussion on radio 4 last week (can't remember what the programme was, but possibly "Costing the Earth") about "city honey". Seemingly, biodiversity in cities is on the up and up - private gardens, allotments, parks, cemeteries, "brownfield sites", roof spaces, window boxes & etc.... Anyway, "London honey" got a definite thumbs up when compared with a lot of "rural honey" - "rural" being often flavoured with agribusiness rape. The rector at my church allows a couple of parishioners to keep bees in the rectory garden - and I must say that the honey is wonderful.
I wish my garden was bigger ..... |
