Food / Bees - honey in Poland [13]
Polish honey can be fantastic!
I have my own supplier, who I trust completely. He's never let me down - always supplies honey from his own hives. I simply love his "aphid ****" honey (spadziowy) - brown and syrupy.
Anyway, I've noticed a distinct lack of bees this year, especially earlier on - my cherry trees didn't get pollinated as well as usual. The weather didn't help much either. The problem is spreading from the west. Bee parasites and illness are coming.
