Have you heard about the bees in France and their blue and green coloured honey?
There’s a biogas plant that processes waste from a Mars chocolate factory – also the maker of M&Ms. Rather than going from flower to flower collecting nectar, these bees have been gathering the colourful sugar/residue from M&M containers at the biogas plant. The result – blue and green coloured honey.
The M&M waste will be covered in the future to prevent this from happening again. Just goes to show what ends up in our environment can have more consequences than we think.
