[QUOTE="frazzledfozzle, post: 4335, member: 57"] thanks John I would appreciate that very much. For us personally it’s very bad also. We are heading into a new season with the previous two seasons honey still in the shed. we know of beekeepers being offered $4 kg for 5+ mono manuka which is an absolute joke. MPIs manuka standard has caused the industry to tank ( only my opinion ) with more blending now than ever before in the history of NZ honey. Add to that the very serious issue of false positive c4 sugar results and its just a nightmare out there. We recently reported what looked to be an abandoned apiary in our area and on inspection it looks like the owner has walkEd away because 8 out of nine hives were dead and those 8 were completely webbed out with waxmoth. I don’t know how it’s going to end or what the end will look like but it’s pretty terrible right now with many hanging on by the skin of their teeth. and As you say there’s still all the RaRa in the media so where is that coming from ?

What type of honey is New Zealand famous for?
