Bantwal, Jul 15: The public here, took a group of labourers, also sellers of fake honey, to task and drove them away on Thursday July 14.

A group of labourers had promised to extract honey from a beehive that was built on a pillar on B C Road. But, when they were found selling jaggery solution instead of honey, the public took them to task and drove them away.

A group of labourers who had arrived from some other state claiming to be beekeepers promised to remove a beehive and get the honey extracted from it that was built atop a big building. It was learnt that as the beehive was new there was no honey collected in it.

The labourers claimed that they had just then extracted the honey but they were found selling jaggery solution and honey wax and had sold large quantities of it earning a few thousands of rupees in the process.

When the public realised that the product the labourers were selling was actually a jaggery solution, they took them to task and warned the labourers not to sell fake honey elsewhere.
