This happens everywhere, not just the UK. Buy local honey.
Or no honey
Much cheaper but doesn't help my throat when sick
From TFA, if you aren't buying local then you aren't buying honey anyway.
Might as well buy a sweet to suck on.
Yeah I do buy local
The statements were
Buy local
or don't buy honey
If you are buying local then you've already satisfied the first half of the OR. It's an option, if you aren't prepared to buy local then don't buy but also not buying honey at all is an option instead of buying honey.
Buying non-local mass produced honey is not an option, and won't help you with a sore throat any more than sucking on a sweet will, and you aren't likely to be buying honey anyway.
They are making it anyway and supporting bees is good for the world.
It's a little more complicated than that unfortunately. Supporting bees is much more than just supporting honey bees.
