Wash your colon, starve yourself and eat organic to live lon

Home made HONEY and jam!!!! now home made jam is possible but how on heaven they can make home made honey on small allotments, which are usually located inside cities. To produce honey you have to keep honey bees, which have to be kept away from people miles and miles away.

produce of these small allotments cannot be organic because most of them use chemical fertilisers and pesticides. All allotments are beside each other. If only one of them uses pesticides and chemical fertilisers it will make the rest of the allotments inorganic.

Most allotment groups have one apiary on the land

Many allotments forbid the use of pesticides and opt for more natural methods of pest control

Allotments are all about growing ones own healthy food - it is only the large commercial growers who need to use pesticides in order to produce a cash crop

Fortunately there are still rural/farming areas where strong pesticides are not used - especially cattle/sheep farming as people fear the pesticides will get into the food chain - also stables where multi-million pound horses are kept safe from pesticides

Many people in urban areas as well as rural areas have apiaries in their gardens

AND

Surprising as it might seem MANY people living in city FLATS keep bees in a spare room - with the window open a small amount

Bees do not have to be kept away from people

Bees are slowly dying, intoxicated by men's agriculture.

The solution is to bring from Kurdistan some kilos of honey, the best one comes from a place called Haji Omar (if I remember).

I would love to taste that

You are right dear Anthea.

Now remember something from my village. There was a holly man shrine in the village, beside it was a mosque. the place was the point of meeting and gathering for the villagers. The caretaker of the place was living beside the shrine and the mosque. He had honey bees and was an expert in taking care of honey bees. The place was always full of flying honey bees between people praying or lazing or chatting around.
