Next week: National Honey Week!

It's National Honey Week next week so we thought we'd give you a bit of Friday afternoon inspiration to get down and sticky with our favourite spreadable treat.

Honey deserves it's own special week because you can:

1. Go Fairtrade: buy your Fairtrade honey online, in some Oxfam shops and in most supermarkets.

2. Make your own: invest in a bee farm, or visit a local one and watch it being made - you'll never fear a bee again.

3. Make it better: honey can help to heal cuts and bruises, promote general health and soothe your cold.

4. Go medieval: host your own mead (honey wine) night, prepare a feast and get your tankards ready.

5. Treat your "honey": cooking with honey might get a bit sticky, but with Valentine's Day around the corner you can get stuck in with these honey recipes.

Great, Valentine's Day is solved by Honey and a bit of charity.

One more honey thing to do which we've just discovered: read this article about a group of women in a poor village in northern Albanian, who Oxfam trained in beekeeping. Fascinating stuff.
