[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 9542, member: 13"] Some days managing the site owners is harder than managing the bees. I'm harvesting honey at this time and with a bit of robbing that can happen while I'm doing it the bees can get pretty nasty for a couple days after I've been. So one place with the house about 300 meters from the bees, after the honey was taken a few bees were hanging around the house and acting aggressive and the small girl felt intimidated. So they decide it would be a good idea to put some honey on the porch, to "distract and pacify" the bees. Course, you can imagine what happened next, and I get a frantic phone call :rolleyes:. Just had to tell them there's nothing I can do to fix it instantly, but after dark when the bees are in bed go and get the honey and put it away safely, and in a couple of days all will be back to normal. Oh and, don't do that again 😮. [/QUOTE]

What type of honey is New Zealand famous for?
