Twisted Sifter –
Back in 2012, beekeepers in northeastern France were abuzz when their bees started mysteriously producing blue honey. After a few months of the bizarre phenomenon, beekeepers discovered that bees were eating the waste from a nearby …. MORE

Better living through chemistry.
That wasn’t exactly an in-depth story.
Huh. I’d have thought the M et M boffins would simply take any waste from batch #1 and cycle as input into batch #2.
What color would the honey be if the bees feasted at the S&M dungeon instead of M&M factory?
Sounds biogas to me.
Recently becoming a honey connoisseur, picked up some Manuka 850+ MGO honey. It’s expensive but man it’s good and good for you. Kids say it taste like medicine and wife claims it’s too sweet and “weird tasting,” I chalk it up to them lacking sophistication. “Good,” I said, “more for me, bitches.” You only live once though, so might as well get it and try it, your jaw will hit the floor though if you see the price.
I want to know if the honey was edible and how it tasted. Not alone here am I?
Honey made from goldenrod nectar is clear, like corn syrup.
My Dad made some clover honey back in 1955
It is very dark and crystalizes as it sits..
I still have two jars that I take out occasionally, warm up to melt the crystals and serve on an English muffin.
Different Tim- I’d try it.
Thank goodness it wasn’t because of global warming or white supremacy.
Enough to bring light to the fact bees make honey that is dependent on whatever nectar (sugar) is available to the hive.
Like, in Southern Wisconsin, they promote the fact that the local honey bees get their nectar from local clover fields .
The M & M factory made them psychedelic.
I’m thinking of starting a couple of hives and growing flowers they like in my yard right next to them.
Smurf piss?
I’ve been considering beekeeping for about four years. We have quite a bit of clover, honeysuckle, dog roses, and Japanese roses.
We also had a bear tearing up and down the pastures. I was a bit concerned about that. But they darted the bear and moved him off.
I’m making an excuse, I know, but March comes up kinda quick around here. If you didn’t order your bees in January you ain’t getting no damn bees. And in January you ain’t thinking about bees, you are thinking about how much coal you have.
I bet no one here can tell me why bees buzz. Faggots. You’d buzz too if your honey was between your legs.
Recently, AOC threw away half of her M&Ms because they were defective. They were printed with a “W” instead of an “M”.
@ Handsome Farmer, my dad did the same (more around the seventies/eighties) and we still have some jars of it. My eldest sister remarked one time that it would never go bad and I was skeptical. Wonderful to know that we can still enjoy some of my dad’s, and the bees labor. 🙂
Yup!
It’s become a tradition every year at hunting camp to dig it out of the back of the closet and try it.
