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' !
