Sweet news as honey from rescue bees in Manchester gets added to currys

We all know we'd be lost without the humble bee. Not only is it a vital part of the planet's ecology, it's also the symbol of Manchester. You'll see it everywhere once you start looking for it in and around The Northern Quarter, adorning some of the pavements close to the city's attractions and even 

But did you know that, in an increasingly urgent need to preserve our bee populations, there are now charities who rescue them?

Now, one such organisation, The Finest Honey, has teamed up with YO! To Go in Manchester Piccadilly to add a bit of a sweetener to the post-lockdown return to work. The 4 new Worker Bee Curries are on available throughout August and consist of Katsu Chicken, Katsu Roasted Cauliflower, Sticky Honey Chicken Karaage Bites, and Honey Mayo Pumpkin Bites. 

The dishes are available until the end of August and 50p from each Worker Bee dish sold will be directed to local community groups and projects focused on nurturing the bee population.

The Finest Honey is a small family-run business and has been hiving honey from rescue bees since 2017 when demand for their product was so high that they sold out their entire yield in just 1 week. Now they source raw honey from all over the world.

So if you work in the city centre and you fancy a bit of a buzz with your lunch, give these new Worker Bee Curries a go!

Worker Bee Curries are available at YO! To Go, Manchester Piccadilly Station, M1 2QF www.thefinesthoney.co.uk
