[QUOTE="John B, post: 4125, member: 207"] I had a fairly indifferent honey crop this year although still above the national average and while I haven't quite finished the books yet, it looks like my costs are going to be higher than my income and that's before I pay myself any wages. First time I've ever made a loss. Not losing sleep over it because I don't owe anybody anything and I've kept some back from the good years but there must be some people really hurting out there. I guess if I had stuck with pollination I would have made something but pollination is hard work and can be stressful, I should know I did it for long enough. Spend the day sawing up timber for simplicity frames. When times are tough you need to do everything you can yourself. [/QUOTE]

What type of honey is New Zealand famous for?
