Just 2 weeks until National Honey Day. The British Beekeepers' Association will celebrate National Honey Day on 21st October. Maybe you could... Buy a jar of local honey. Share photos on social media of your own or your favourite honey. #nationalhoneyday #localhoney #BBKA

I’m on volunteer duty at @HertfordMuseum, 12-2pm - do come! It’s reduced Sunday opening hours today because there aren’t enough volunteers at the moment - could you volunteer to help change that? #Hertford

Do you know the difference between the Asian and European hornet? Asian hornet is an invasive non-native species and poses a real threat to honey bees and other pollinators. Swipe to learn the difference between these two species ⬇️ #INNSWeek

I’m convinced that most people want to help nature thrive & have no idea that some common gardening methods are harmful to wildlife. I’ve created a poster to illustrate the benefits of long grass habitat. Using weedkiller can seriously damage wildlife. #nomow #nomowmay #organic

You seem a bit perplexed that we are asking you to sign this petition - it is second one we have done about honey & started in October. However, we have around 30,000 members & only 8.5K of you have so far signed it so we are reminding you to do so. #bees petition.parliament.uk/petit…
Petition: Require honey labels to reflect all countries of origin of the honey.

Petition: Require honey labels to reflect all countries of origin of the honey.

Currently the country of origin on labels can be replaced, if the honey originates from multiple countries, with ‘blend of EU/non-EU/EU and non-EU honeys’. We believe this is insufficient to allow...
