Chicken thighs are an inexpensive and versatile meat that can be enjoyed as part of various meals. This easy and delicious roasted recipe will add bags of flavour to the chicken and will work equally as well as part of a full roast dinner, or a simpler meal with peas and chips. I always use bone-in, skin-on thighs for this recipe as I find they give the best flavour, moisture and texture...

Honey roast carrots are without a doubt one of the tastiest ways to enjoy this humble and inexpensive root vegetable. They are the perfect accompaniment for any roast dinner and can also be enjoyed as filling snack that makes a delicious, healthier alternative to a bowl of chips.

This simple honey glazed carrot recipe uses just a handful of ingredients that most will have in the cupboard, plus some optional fresh herbs to make them extra special. For me honey roasted carrots provide the ultimate sweet and savoury flavour, if you've only ever had bland boiled carrots, you are in for a real treat!...

Honey flapjacks are perfect for a sweet tea-time treat, filling snack or tasty dessert. This deliciously moist and chewy honey flapjack recipe is a doddle to make and are a lot tastier than anything you can buy in the supermarket.

At Just Bee we have friends and relatives that are vegetarian and vegan. We feel that diet is a very personal matter, whether you have made choices based on health considerations, environmental issues, ethical decisions or a combination of all these things.

Because every individual is different, people will often take a different view on the subject of whether honey is vegan or not. There have been well made arguments on both sides and some that frankly don't hold as quite much weight! Armed with the right knowledge you can make up your own mind if you think honey is right for you to eat, and that’s the aim of this blog post...
