[QUOTE="John B, post: 8034, member: 207"] I assisted with the destruction of 20 hives today (not mine), that's 60 boxes of plastic frames and the smoke was dreadful. While I fully's support the need to destroy gear like this the burning of hives and especially plastic ones is becoming a lot harder to do without causing problems with neighbours and councils. Surely in this day and age we can come up with a better more ecologically friendly method of disposal. What do people think of the possibility of getting infected gear deep buried at landfills. I know there is the argument of what if it was ever dug up again but you could probably say the same for a burn hole when the hive you are burning has a lot of honey on it as there is no way that all the honey burns. Anyway I would appreciate people's thoughts on this. [/QUOTE]

What type of honey is New Zealand famous for?
