10th National Honey Week
5-11 May 2008
National Honey Week, one of the UK’s sweetest celebrations, is entering its tenth year and will be moving from February to May.
To celebrate National Honey Week’s tenth birthday, and to look toward the next decade of honey use in the UK, the week will be held from 5-11 May – just as the spring flowers start to blossom and the honey making season gets underway.
Further updates about the 10th National Honey Week celebrations will be announced in coming months.
