Gorse flower jelly

One of the simplest, but one of the most important, things you can do would be to try to replace sugar with honey wherever feasible. The honey bee is a keystone species. It is responsible for the pollination of a third of our crops, not to mention wild and native flora. Varroa has decimated our feral bee population, so your local apiarists are carrying out a massive task and need your support. Furthermore, honey is local, contains trace amounts of several micronutrients, and possesses other purported health-benefiting properties.
