HAK chops apple sauce production schedule due to high energy prices Business October 3, 2022 A meal of chicken, chips and apple sauce is a Dutch staple. Photo: Depositphotos.com Dutch food company HAK, best known for its jars of apple sauce, brown beans and peas, is halting production for six weeks from January because of the uncertainty over energy prices. The current high level is making it uneconomic to produce jars of preserved fruit and veg during the winter months, director Timo Hoogeboom said. ‘Current energy costs are exorbitant and up 10 times on a year ago,’ he said. ‘We are doing everything we can to cover the cost ourselves – like with this production break. But despite these initiatives, we cannot prevent significant price increases. It is painful, but unfortunately it is the reality.’ Supplies will not be affected because the harvest season will be over by then and pulses, the company’s other main staple, are more flexible in terms of production and storage. National statistics office CBS said last week that inflation had topped 17% last month, thanks to rising fuel and food prices.

What is the difference between Italian and Russian bees?
Italian and Russian bees are both excellent breeds for beekeeping, although they have a tendency to swarm. Each race of bee is hard-working and can produce large amounts of honey in the right conditions. Italian bees are less aggressive and easier to requeen but are more likely to rob. The Russian breed overwinters well and has good resistance to varroa mites and other pests.
1. Appearance
The Italian bee has yellowish-brown bands on a brown abdomen. The queen is often a darker shade of orange or leathery brown, making it easier for beekeepers to spot her in the hive.
Pure Russian honey bees are typically a black or dark brown shade with pale yellow stripes. But if the hive requeens, she could mate with other drone breeds, which will alter the appearance of the colony.
2. Origin
Researchers believe Italian bees originated from the southern region of Italy. In 1859, Italian honey bees were introduced to America, where they soon replaced German bees. Italian bees are now on every ...
“Whoever controls the food supply controls the people.”
Society can only survive and fully function with a robust and ample food supply & security. All roads lead from that. That’s why supporting farmers and farming is probably the most important campaign in this era. Without food (ideally fresh & local) societies crumble and public health diminishes.
Over the past 40 years, many of our public and essential assets have been sold off or plundered for corporate greed. Land is one of the last remaining asset grab battles. Support our farmers. Our food supply depends on them.
