[QUOTE="James, post: 12377, member: 212"] Aah, we can grumble 'til the cows come home about how hard it is to make a dollar from the bees ..... and with no action nothing will change. I see a kilo of honey in the supermarket is now worth almost $18. That means about $12.50 has been added to the product I sold to the packer .... Any way, it is what it is ..... I just love that expression ..... It is what it is, and I 'aint smart enough to fix the problem, so I'll just carry on grumbling .... right ? Or am I .....? I read this evening in a news letter from Mountain Riv er, to whome we supply venison , a round up of a salestrip they undertook to Scandanavia, pushing their wrapped portions of venison ready to flip into a pan. Part of the salestrip was a culinary extravaganza of NZ produce put on by the NZ embassy in Stockholm ..... fine NZ food washed down with fine NZ wine ..... what a marvellous opportunity to add fine NZ honey .... So, you smart boys in APINZ leading our industry why are you not talking with these other smart boys in the wine and meat sector to compliment their wares ? Does'nt seem like rocket science ..... But then, what do I know. [/QUOTE]
