06/07/24 - Farming Today This Week: Election analysis, soft fruit farming and bee breeding
What will Labour's election win mean for food, farming and the environment across the UK?
Labour have won the General Election - so what does it mean for food, farming and the environment across the UK?
We visit a soft fruit farm where flexible solar panels are being draped over the polytunnels to produce both electricity and strawberries from the same land.
And most beekeepers sell honey - but we visit a pair who also sell queen bees, which they send to customers through the post.
