We're about to, we're this is a secret, so let's just keep it here within this, uh, group of people. But we've been working really, really hard to launch a line of single origin honeys. Um, and that's coming before the end of October. So stay tuned, go to burlap and barrel.com. We have a really wonderful honey program that we're about to introduce. And yeah, honey is a huge issue of adulteration and also a lot of our partner farmers produce honey, they keep beehives because it helps improve pollination, it helps improve biodiversity. So honey's always been adjacent to spices. And so now give us, give us a month and uh, and we're gonna have some really, really cool options for honey for you on our site. Really cool. So many vegans won't use honey. And um, people have heard me say this before. I watched a film called Queen of the Sun. I mean, I feel that without bees we don't, we don't have a conversation about food. We need the bees. We need to protect the bees, and it's the adulterated honey, you know, if we have farmers. I also had the opportunity to be with indigenous people in the rainforest of Brazil and their honey was really saving them. So we will look for that. We'll keep it a secret here. We'll keep It a secret here. And, and just one more vegan point on honey, is that there, what we've learned through this process is that there are many ways to harvest honey. And the folks that we're working with yes, do not harvest the bru stock. They really, they won't, they won't take it if there's anything, any bees in it and things like that. So, um, there are very thoughtful non be harming ways of, of making art. If you have, if if it doesn't fit with your diet, that's totally okay, but I, but we really try to, to go as far as we could to make sure this was kind of safe and thoughtfully managed. Honey, I am not surprised to hear you say that after having conversations with you and learning about the company.
