Weeks of warm weather in the region surrounding Chantilly, France, have brought beekeepers what could be their best honey season in four decades

Down an overgrown track near the Chantilly Palace, where the James Bond film “A View to a Kill” was filmed in the 1980s, beekeeper Franck Portefaix says it could be the best season in four decades.

Temperatures in the l’Oise, north of Paris, in April hit as high as 30 degrees Celsius, more typical of early summer. But not all beekeepers are cheering 2020. While northern and western regions of France basked in ideal April weather, prolonged dry spells hurt harvests in the south. Unfavourable weather also in the Landes region hurt acacia honey production.
