Who knew that Mexico was just a short jump away from Bog Walk? Well, the Mexican Ambassador to Jamaica for sure. Here, Senora Leonora Rueda (second right) shares with Professor Rosalea Hamilton (third left) about her visit to the community of Mexico in St Catherine and the embassy's interest in honey production in Jamaica. The moment was captured at the recently concluded Caribbean VeggieFest and Wellness Spa and Conference at the Hilton Kingston hotel, as Professor Hamilton presents Senora Rueda with a bottle of Phoenix Honey when she stopped by the event. Also sharing the moment are Mr and Mrs Lloyd O'Meally (far left) from the Jamaica Greenhouse Growers' Association and Theo Chambers (right), co-founder and co-producer of the Caribbean Veggie Fest Wellness Spa and Conference.- Contributed
