（巴黎6日綜合電）法國東北部阿爾薩斯（Alsace）的蜜蜂，自8月起出產的天然蜜糖，竟染上古靈精怪的藍綠顏色!　這事令蜂農懊惱不已，幾經調查終于在近日解開謎題，原來蜜蜂採蜜時，“採錯”M&M巧克力的色素黏液廢料缸，誤製“M&M色蜜糖”。
　在養蜂小鎮里博維萊4公里外的沼氣廠，一桶桶色彩繽紛的M&M糖漿殘余物，竟比漫山鮮花花蜜更吸引，惹來小鎮蜜蜂遠道去“採蜜”，染得蜂巢色彩繽紛。養蜂人協會主席弗里厄說，雖然蜜蜂味道無異樣，但也不敢出售：“對我來說，這不是蜂蜜，這是不能出售的。”

法國東北部阿爾薩斯地區(Alsace)的蜂農，最近非常困擾，因為他們養殖的蜜蜂不斷產出藍色和綠色的蜂蜜，這些顏色奇怪的蜂蜜無法拿上市場販售，讓蜂農非常頭痛。藍色蜂蜜之謎最近得到答案，原來是附近生產M&M's巧克力的工廠廢棄物影響，蜜蜂帶回巧克力糖衣的有色物質回蜂巢，才讓蜂蜜變色。

法國東北部一些養蜂場，不斷產出藍色與綠色的蜂蜜，讓蜂農非常擔心。現在蜂農們自力調查後發現，附近生產M&M's巧克力的工廠的廢棄物帶有色素，蜜蜂把這些有色物質帶回蜂巢，讓產出的蜂蜜染上顏色。蜂農們說的這家瑪氏(Mars)工廠，專門生產一口大小的M&M's巧克力，顏色有紅色、藍色、綠色、黃色與咖啡色。5.39.217.76$ \$ I% ^( o: Q' }! R

法國是歐聯的主要蜂蜜生產國，每年生產約1萬8330公噸蜂蜜。法國蜂農協會會長費利耶(Alain Frieh)表示，最近蜜蜂的高死亡率，還有冬天過後蜂蜜供應量下降的問題，已經讓蜂農們窮於應付，現在這些無法販售的藍色、綠色蜂蜜，讓蜂農更加頭痛。5.39.217.76- J z" ~0 p0 }

而該家工廠在接獲通報後，表示會全力配合，公司已經清洗好裝廢棄物的容器，新進來的廢棄物也不會放在露天的環境，以避免和蜜蜂接觸。
