Abe Pork would be more appropriate.

Why is this in the politics section ?

Abe honey, made with aspartame, saccharin, stevia, sucralose and neotame.
No natural ingredients!

I started growing bees at a young age and let me tell you..It is WAAAAY harder to grow bees than to ruin a country.

The only swarm attracted to the Abe household?

Don't know which is worse - a bee sting ? Or an Abe sting ? (He's got plenty of them !)

I like the part "from her American opposite number". So though bees, we know who controls Japan?

If it's arrow-related, the bee seems much more effective.

Always is light in the most darkness, at least he is doing something good for people I'm given some credit to him is not best but baby steps, maybe he will learn how bees working the benefit of the hive who knows Mother Nature or God or Universe work in mysterious ways.

It may interest some people to learn that, just like thier human counterparts, Japanese honey bees are actually less productive than European bee species. This partly explains why Japanese honey is more expensive. But luckily for Japanese bees, they enjoy a closed market without competition, since all attempts to transplant European bees into Japan have failed because they have no natural defences against Japanese hornets. I find the parallels between the bee and human worlds quite interesting.

Best enjoy Abe honey now. If TPP goes through, bees are likely to become extinct, thanks to Monsanto and Beyer pesticides:

Didn't we hear this about several other ‘Abe-brand’ initiatives?

Let me guess: the price of Abe Honey goes up 2% every year, and the size of the bottle gets smaller, regardless of the consumers' ability to pay, and the customers are expected to keep on buying as usual.

This time, don't ignore my question. The article did not say what you wrote. How can I get ingredients you mentioned. Witch store honey go to purchase ingredients?
