The secret ingredient that turns nectar into honey is bee ?spit.?

Chemicals in the bees? saliva help change the nectar into sugars.

The nectar/saliva mixture is then stored in the beeswax comb by the workers.

I heard someone on the radio say this morning, 'Well, I've never heard a carrot scream'. Rather arrogant to assume that because it doesn't register to our limited range of senses, it can't exist. According to some Buddhists, at a microbiological level, a salad sandwich is carnage (vegage?).


On the Food Prog on R4 this week it was said that mushrooms are somewhere between animal and vegetable, which is thought-provoking.

I guess a less absurd example might be breastfeeding - which vegans usually think is OK, presumably because it's voluntary.

How is breastfeeding remotely absurd? You've lost me.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that. 
    • Reeves says she's in charge and no no's Rayners plan, what happens now?
