Attica (Greece) are selling honey for as much as 19.95 euros a kg in
supermarkets. Local beekeepers, including myself are selling directly
to customers for 15 euros. However, I am not going to make a fortune -
with just 50 kg from 25 hives due to flying bees dying in early
spring and a drought from the end of April until the middle of October
- and money being spent to keep colonies alive . . . . I can see a
time when I will be numbering tins as a 'special issue' !
