Green and Blue Honey

For something a little different: It has been in the news during the past week about some beekeepers in France who found their bees were producing various unusual colours of honey, including green and blue, and even some red.

From their investigations it appears the cause is linked to a nearby factory that processes waste from the production of M&Ms (the chocolate candy). That while some waste containing colourings had been left outside and local bees were feeding from it, in turn producing some rather strange colours of honey.

Not to worry, none of the honey is being sold, but if you are curious to know some more, have a look at this BBC video clip about it:
