Works for our horses, too.
I read the news today oh boy! Page 2,298
Maybe psychosomatic but my wife buys it from a local farm. You can see the rows of hives as you go in.
She used to be a red faced teary wreck ( I know, married to me might be doing it )
And it definitely calms it.

Doubt it - horses have brains the size of walnuts.
No room for psychosomatic effects in there.
It deffo works.
One of ours had terrible allergies - spoonful of very local honey( the f**kers feed on our plants - I should get a discount) and he's right as rain.
Honey is amazing - the vet suggests it over antibiotics.
Bloody disgusting Russia's attitude towards Crimea which is part of the Ukraine.

Why don't NATO do something about it and kick them out?
LETS BOMB RUSSIA !!!!!!!!
Friggin nuts...
Online giant Amazon is destroying millions of items of unsold stock every year, products that are often new and unused, ITV News can reveal.
Footage gathered by ITV News shows waste on an astonishing level.
And this is from just one of 24 fulfilment centres they currently operate in the UK.
Undercover filming from inside Amazon's Dunfermline warehouse reveals the sheer scale of the waste: Smart TVs, laptops, drones, hairdryers, top of the range headphones, computer drives, books galore, thousands of sealed face masks - all sorted into boxes marked "destroy".
Products that were never sold, or returned by a customer. Almost all could have been redistributed to charities or those in need. Instead, they are thrown into vast bins, carried away by lorries (which we tracked), and dumped at either recycling centres or, worse, a landfill site.
An ex-employee, who asked for anonymity, told us: "From a Friday to a Friday our target was to generally destroy 130,000 items a week.
"I used to gasp. There's no rhyme or reason to what gets destroyed: Dyson fans, Hoovers, the occasional MacBook and iPad; the other day, 20,000 Covid (face) masks still in their wrappers.

When Brexit first hit customers were being charged tax on the door step so refused products which went back to the EU warehouses. On lower value items, it was cheaper to destroy than deal with all the processing , distribution and storage costs. There wasn't time to set up a charity donation (fear of liability, needs to be done correctly).
Collectables are often destroyed to make the remaining ones more valuable. Burberry were caught out destroying stock recently and PR pressure reversed it, see here: https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2018/9/17/17852294/fashion-brands-burning-merchandise-burberry-nike-h-and-m
Sadly it's been going on for centuries. Even the Police destroy drugs, driving the prices up and keeping the Fuzz in business...
How naive to think that Amazon would care or donate these items to charity.
Happy OBON Day, everyone!

Only joking!! A great film, by the way,
Now we know why Matt Hancock doesn't let his kids use social media.
I'm flying to Seattle Sunday morning to meet up with my kids and grandkids. Normally it's cool and rainy, but temperatures are supposed to hit 108F/42C. I guess we won't be doing a lot of walking...
That's ridiculously hot.

I'm worried that the power grid might be overwhelmed. The only thing worse than 108 is 108 with no air conditioning. Might have to retreat to perpetually snow-covered Mount Rainier.
