Flog It Blog It, A Sting In The Tail!

Molly The Wally Has Blue Honey!

M&M's create Blue Honey!

Since August, something strange has been happening around the town of Ribeauville in the region of Alsace in France. Beekeepers have been bee-dazzled to see their honey produced in mysterious shades of blue, green, and red. Bees have been seen returning to their hives carrying unidentified colourful matter. This, the residents believe is responsible for turning their honey into such unnatural colours. Bee-wildered, the beekeepers embarked on an investigation and combed the area to discover that a biogas plant 4km away has been processing waste from a Mars factory producing M&M's. Here stocks of shells in bright red, blue, green, yellow and brown are stored before processing. Asked about the issue, a Mars spokesman said “We were in the dark about it!” He wouldn’t elaborate on just how dark it was, but hinted it was at least 70% cocao. The psychedelic honey is unsellable and is a new headache for the affected beekeepers, droned, Alain Frieh , president of the apiculturists' union. Agrivalor, the company operating the biogas plant, said it had put in to force ‘Plan Bee’ and has cleaned its containers and incoming waste would now be stored in a covered hall. As for the M&M's infused honey, union head Frieh said it might taste like honey, but there the comparison stopped. "For me, it's not honey. It's not sellable." We say sell it as special Halloween edition. The colours are appropriate and it's most likely full of E numbers so it will have your kids bouncing off the walls! Hive yourself a good time today!

Don't forget to pop over to the Spooky Gallery today (last tab on the right). Today is an extra Blogville Special! Have some fun and just leave a comment at Mollie & Alfie and get spookified.

  8. How peculiar! Now we know that if we want to attract bees, we should put out M&Ms! You sure do dig up some interesting stories, Molly!

  9. How unusual, we read something about that in the paper. Do you think if there are all different colours of M&Ms the honey will be layered like a rainbow :)

  16. Have a great weekend! Ours is a long one over here....Columbus Day on Monday gives many of us the extra day off.

    When I was in England, many years back now, we ate in a restaurant in Bath that had a sign saying it had been in continuous business as a spot to eat since 1492! The same year Columbus is credited w/ finding the Americas. That's one old pub!
