Bees have been producing honey in mysterious shades of blue and green which keepers believe is because they have been eating the residue from containers at a nearby M&M factory.

Since August, beekeepers around the town of Ribeauville in the region of Alsace, in France, have seen bees returning to their hives carrying unidentified colourful substances which have turned their honey unnatural shades.

Mystified, the beekeepers embarked on an investigation and discovered that a biogas plant 2.5miles away has been processing waste from a Mars plant producing M&Ms, bite-sized chocolates in bright red, blue, green, yellow and brown shells.

The unsellable honey is a new headache for around a dozen affected beekeepers already dealing with high bee mortality rates and dwindling honey supplies following a harsh winter, said Alain Frieh, president of the apiculturists’ union.
