[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 12380, member: 13"] That. Competition over manuka definitely brought out the worst in people. I was surprised how things changed, you could once talk to most people about pretty much anything and 99% of folks were happy to share and even try to help. Then one day I noticed it wasn't like that, some people were sealed books, couldn't even discuss the simple stuff, people didn't want to give anything away. Which other than being sad, was also kind of funny in a way, with often very new beekeepers jealously guarding what they thought was some special knowledge they had. You do not, as a rule, get other sectors like for example, dairy farming, acting like that. [/QUOTE]
