In a honey-infused tropical fantasy, fuzzy little bees hurried back to the hive with pineapples, vanilla pods and apples to make their ever popular apple chutney and pineapple candyfloss. Also in the hive were hoards of honeydew melons, guavas and waxed lemons, while from the kitchen came wafts of warm marmalade and peach ice cream.

With a dash of water we ventured deeper into the hive, passing crème brûlée topped with cinnamon, coconut sponge cake and their very special whipped cream with honey. All of a sudden the teatime buzz sounded and the bees took a well-earned break with chilled cream soda, chocolate macaroons and earl grey tea with nothing other than luscious heather honey.
