[QUOTE="kaihoka, post: 1966, member: 124"] I realise you are a hobbyist with no commercial agenda . The manuka you would want to grow is a high umf specialist plant that has high activity, any other manuka is no more effective for health than any other dark honey . I think NZ would be dumb to let the high activity manuka leave the country . Even if you had 4 acres of manuka there is no guarantee that your bees would get the honey. In NZ we have a native bee that flies in less favourable conditions and collects the nectar before the honey bees get it . Getting manuka honey seems to be a lot of work for bees and if there is anything else flowering and flowing then the bees could ignore it . [/QUOTE]
Verification
What type of honey is New Zealand famous for?
