Why Are Bees Producing Strange Blue and Green Honey?

France is one of the largest producers of honey within the European Union, producing some 18,330 tonnes annually, according to the national farm agency FranceAgriMer.

And according to the Alsace region’s chamber of agriculture, there are approximately 2,400 beekeepers in northeastern France producing about 1,000 tons of honey per year.

Beekeepers around the town of Ribeauville in the Alsace region — the same region of northeastern France famous for its wines — recently complained that their hives began to produce strange colored blue and green honey instead of the regular amber colored honey.

The beekeepers witnessed bees returning to their hives carrying unidentified colorful substances that have turned their honey unnatural shades.

The beekeepers conducted their own investigation in the area and determined that the Agrivolar biogas plant around 4 kilometers away, was responsible for processing waste from a Mars factory producing bite-sized M&M’s candies in bright red, blue, green, yellow and brown shells.
