National Honey Day
This is a celebration of all things honey. The BBKA will be encouraging everyone to buy a jar of local honey, produced by bees here in the UK. Not only do they want to ensure people are aware of all the benefits honey provides but are seeking to celebrate the pleasure of eating honey.
Honey has been enjoyed all over the world for centuries, it was found in the Egyptian tombs and is often depicted being collected by bees in ancient cave drawings.
The BBKA is continuing its campaign to identify adulterated honey and encouraging the promotion of locally produced honey.
