I hope you will take care to keep the bees as ethically as possible. Here is some information about the vegan concerns of honey and other bee products: http://www.vegansociety.com/animals/exploitation/bees.php I have been researching this quite a bit lately, mostly by speaking with the beekeepers I have met. I have been wondering if it is really possible to be a conscious beekeeper, as some say they are. The practices people say you need to use seem to vary wildly. I think if it is really possible to collect honey compassionately it is probably more ethical for me to eat that than sugar. So, keep me posted, Jo xx P.S. Does the foraging group still exist? When is our next jaunt? Hi Beth,

P.S. Does the foraging group still exist? When is our next jaunt?

Please can I help out with your hives? I could be your apprentice. Otherwise I will be forced to seethe with jealousy. I’ve always wanted to keep bees. Please can I help out with your hives?
