Conference feedback
- Thread starter frazzledfozzle
- Start date
It tastes good, plus there was a big rush on it during covid so I think people see it as closer to manuka than say, clover.
However I can see why the packers want mono floral, they know what they are getting, and if they want to blend they can. Whereas so called "bush" could be pretty much anything.

Hmm .... I been looking for the relevant thread, but I can't find it .....Well done, @James!
But any way ..... you always know how it is when you open your mouth and start skiting ..... the poo hits the fan.
And there I was skiting how we had sold our honey.....
Signed a contract with a deposit payable and the buyer happy to settle on the 30 of the month..... Uh huh....
Little bit of cash flow and the ability to plan forward ..... Uh huh
30th of the month is coming up fast. No deposit has been paid, and now buyers are citing that "things are tight"
Think I should have gone to the conference with a placard that reads....
Et tu Brutei.
Makes me wonder why we Beekeepers are happy to run bees into a new season with no idea where our crop is gonna go.
I've been wondering about that too. Reading between your lines I think it's because there's nothing else you'd rather be doing ?
If he does not come up with the money then name and shame him on the forum or start legal proceedings. A contract is binding on both sides.
I thought this was the conference feedback thread.
Whats the vibe from Rotorua . Last time I was there the curry was quite good

Yes it is supposed to be the conference feedback thread and from here on it still is ! Any replies to any of the previous ramblings will be deleted !
I am at the conference. Caught up with @Dennis Crowley and @John B . Good crowd of around 950.
Come around to the far corner of the trade area. I’m over there 👋👋
Have you seen anything new and interesting Trev ....or been party to gossip and the feeling on the street.
i’m here. lots of honeys being offered for sale, a few people asking to buy honey too. Lots of unsold trade stands.
I missed the early seminars yesterday as we were still organising our stand and the honey show and photo contest entries. The afternoon ones put me to sleep. As always the best part is seeing other beekeepers. the first ones we saw are also from the barrier 🤣
Looking forward to randy oliver this morning.
Mostly just yapping for me. Not much in the way of sales happening but you need to show your wares. Bee gate of interest and the eco frame.
Sorry you are not here James. I always enjoy our catch up.
@nikki watts , what stand are you on. I would love to catch up. I am on the Ecrotek stand and doing the bacon butties at 7.30 am
i was there for the first day.
mostly cruising the trade stands, got out the big spoon and stirred em up. especially those couch makers
theres a few new products, with some good and bad points. it will be interesting to run them and see how they go.
bumped into a few old beeks i havn't see for a while.

This is my first conference since 1998. The old guys I've re-connected with have all aged... Trade displays are massive and varied in nature from 'back then'. The size of the industry still astounds me.
Nice to catch up, albeit brief @Trevor Gillbanks i’ll look you up when I’m in PN in a few weeks time.
@NickWallingford thanks for introducing yourself to me, I am astounded by the amount of NZ beekeeping history you have been able to collect and digitally store for future reference.👍
@Dennis Crowley nice to catchup again
Judy Knipmeijer 👋👋
@John B probably thought “whose this young fella talking to me about simplicity frames”…🤣
