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!
