Honey Sent to The Office of TRH
Published Sep 25, 2008
Statement by the British Bee Keeping Association regarding honey sent to The Office of TRH The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall.
The Prince of Wales has been very touched recently to receive so many letters of support from beekeepers both in this country and the continent.
Many of these letters have been accompanied by jars of honey. While His Royal Highness is a well-known supporter of the work which all of us do to protect and promote the honey bee, his office is being rather overwhelmed with honey!
It has been said on some websites these gifts are being encouraged and that they will be given to charity. This is not the case. It is not, in fact, possible for The Prince of Wales’s Office to redistribute perishable items and so, while the letters are much appreciated, please do not send any more jars of honey.
