Eric,

I followed the link from the article you mentioned to Gloria's own website and I just wonder - why does she call her honey 'bio-active antibacterial honey'? Is her honey any different from honey produced by any of us who cold-filter our honey? Isn't that title a bit of a con? I think it would have been better, and more honest, if she had just said that her honey is cold-filtered and explained why that is preferable. Also, what exactly does 'bio-active' mean?

She need to be careful with the health claims she is making. Prostate troubles, psoraisis - really?! One you get to the 'Einstein' bit you know you are dealing with hyperbole and lazy journalism ... but I suppose it is the Daily Mail after all.

Hi Kitta

Don't shoot the messenger! Write and tell her to get her act together!

So you are saying now that she (Gloria Havenhand) is both inspirational *and* needs to get her act together? You were more than just a messenger, you were asking us to be inspired by drivel, and a claiming that she was a 'special beekeeper'!

Sorry, Eric! I did not mean to shoot the messenger - I'm just perplexed by the message.

I am curious to know what you found inspiring about the article. Is it the abundance of bee food on her farm and the fact that it is an organic farm? Those are two plus points (even though the bees might decide to forage outside the farm boundaries). Have I missed something?
