KING Charles is cashing in on worker bees at his royal estate — by selling honey for £15 a jar.

The 170g serving of honeycomb is harvested from hives kept at his country seat.

Buyers are told: "A Taste of Royal Luxury Indulge in the purest essence of nature with our exquisite British honeycomb harvested straight from the hives of Highgrove Royal Estate.

"Crafted by industrious bees foraging among the finest wildflowers and hedgerows, this honeycomb offers a truly unique and delicious taste experience.

"Sourced with Care, our honey is produced in exclusively commissioned, handcrafted, double-walled beehives.

"These unique masterpieces provide the perfect environment for our bees to thrive and produce the highest-quality honey.

"Perfect for Every Occasion Breakfast Delight: Elevate your morning meal with a slice of hot-buttered toast or a pastry topped with our decadent honeycomb.”

The King charges £14.95 for his 170g honeycomb. Online retailers sell 300g pieces of honeycomb for £7.95.

A Marks & Spencer's version is £8 for a 250g jar.

The King’s shop at Highgrove House, Gloucs, is also selling £250 single malt whisky from the ­Cotswolds Distillery and limited to 400 bottles.
