We are converting our small Israeli boutique apiary to an organic apiary. It is quite a challenge but it is actually happening. You can read about our efforts at http://www.blackbear.co.il. We are starting to grow small cell bees and do not use organophosphates. Shelley, the problem with Silan from Israel (at least the bottles I have seen) is that it contains sugar.

Silan / date honey is not all that easy to find in the UK either. For those less concerned with kosher ceritfication, a company called Meridian does supply a non-kosher date syrup to health-food stores around the UK and it can also be ordered online through goodnessdirect.co.uk. But kosher silan from Israel is harder to find. Since I run a kosher, vegetarian & vegan gift basket business, I have made it my mission to get hold of some kosher silan so I can make a kosher & vegan version of our Apple & Honey gift box for Rosh Hashanah this year. We should have stock within the next 10 days, so take a look at our website (http://www.mannagifts.co.uk) just before Rosh Hashanah if you are looking for the ideal gift to send to UK & European-based Jewish vegan friends.
