Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, is hawking honey produced by bees who live a life far better than yours and mine.

The bees live in the garden of her country hideaway Ray Mill House in Wiltshire, which is a short drive away from her other house, Highgrove, and used to entertain family. The honey is being sold at a favorite store of the royals, Fortnum & Mason, which describes the product as being "carefully crafted and delicately perfumed nectar with subtle hints of chamomile." Only 250 jars are available for £20, or slightly over $30.

Camilla isn't selling the honey to fund her fascinator habit, but rather to raise money for Medical Detection Dogs, the charity she has been a patron of since February 2014.
