Bees addicted to junk food

Beekeepers at the town Ribeauville in the Region of Alsace of France found their honey in blue and green color.

Out of curiosity, they tried to trace their bees’ source of honey. They found that instead of obtaining nectar from the local field, their bees have gone to a nearby biogas plant for sugary snack.

The plant processed waste for Mars which made M&M’s chocolates in blue and green sugar based shells.

This means the honey produced is not merchantible and not fit for use. The beekeepers suffered loss as a result.

The plant has  since cleared their containers and will keep future waste in covered halls to prevent patronizing of the bees.
