[QUOTE="Earthboy, post: 2390"] Tony, I am in Amu'rka, too. What you are asking on this forum hit the nerves of fear on some NZ beekeepers who relies heavily on the merit of Manuka, a golden goose, if you will. They will lose money big time if, say, America has a huge Manuka fields, like the almonds in California. Now many on this forum understand your intention is not to steal their golden goose, heaven forbids. But the fear is NZ must monopolize their authentic Manuka honey--albeit similar, if not identical, species also grow in Australia. These two countries should fear losing their Manuka monopoly as that will hurt their wallet. Probably they are right in that regard. However, given the benefits of MH in the world, I fear someone will try to steal or improve the cultivar in other parts of the world. Time will tell. In the meantime, they must fight to keep it to themselves--understandably. Earthboy [/QUOTE]
