[QUOTE="NickWallingford, post: 4391, member: 44"] OK, many is the time I've started out to write about the [I]start[/I] of the Honey Marketing Authority... Early 1950s, beekeepers wanting a better price for their honey, good years/bad years, nobody likes the packers except to sell honey to. So maybe times weren't that much different... The HMA played a critical role in the marketing of New Zealand's honey, and ultimately on the local price and return to beekeeper. But all things come to an end... By the end of the 1970s, the HMA was on its way out, effectively creating the market as we now have it, to some extent. This document describes a significant meeting at the end of 1979. Names may be familiar... But it provides an amazing view into the attitudes and expectations of beekeepers more than 40 years ago now. And I'll raise my coffee to Paul Marshall. I count Paul as one of the massively significant 'players' in beekeeping industry politics back then. Cheers, Paul - and thank you.
